COUPLES MASSAGE

Spend your day unwinding at the spa together at the Ritz-Carlton Denver. The hotel’s luxury spa offers a wide range of services including the Couples Spa Escape, a private spa journey in which the entire spa shuts down for you and yours to have it all to yourselves. The package includes full access to all facilities, from the steam room to the whirlpool, as well as 50-minute side-by-side massages. No better way to reconnect and relax on this romantic day!

ICE SKATING

Enjoy Denver’s beautiful scenery as you whirl your sweetheart hand in hand around the ice rink at the Downtown Denver Rink at Skyline Park. Located in the heart of downtown Denver, this skating rink is reminiscent of New York’s rink at Rockefeller center and a short walk away from some of the city’s best restaurants, making it the ideal stop on your Valentine’s Day excursion this year.

DOWNTOWN DINING

Boasting spectacular views of downtown Denver and its stunning skyline, El Five is a highly rated Mediterranean restaurant serving dishes inspired by traditional Spanish tapas with influences from North Africa and the Middle East. This Valentine’s Day, they are serving a special prix-fixe menu, making it the perfect time to try out this popular downtown spot.

Corinne, another buzzing downtown locale, is also offering a romantic 3-course Valentine’s special with the option to add champagne or hand-crafted “His” and “Hers” cocktails to your menu.

After dinner, take a romantic ride through downtown Denver in a horse and carriage snuggled alongside your honey. Take in the gorgeous sights and the glowing city atmosphere as you clip-clop along the streets.

CATCH A SHOW

If you’re interested in adding a little entertainment to your date night, the Denver Center for Performing Arts has four evening shows for you to choose from this Valentine’s Day. From “The Book of Will,” the story of the quest to preserve Shakespeare’s first folio, to “An Act of God,” a comedy in which God takes human form, and more, there are options to choose from if switching up the classic Valentine’s Day date is on your radar this year.
