With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, my wife and I are stranded in our house at the moment at the snowstorm of the century eats up the Eastern US. TV meteorologists and even a few political commentators have coined new terms to describe the storm - like snowpocalypse and snowmageddon. While just being home with my wife is probably an acceptable way to celebrate the holiday, I think boutique hotels make a better setting for a romantic holiday.

What exactly is a boutique hotel? Wikipedia says that they are smaller establishments that provide "intimate, usually luxurious or quirky hotel environments." I think I'd prefer luxurious to quirky.

Paris "the City of Love" would be a nice place to shop with your true LOVE. Maybe someplace like The Paris Eiffel Cambronne, not far from the Eiffel Tower. Of course if Paris is tool cold in February, there's always Bali or Boracay...
