The Seven Steps to a Yes

12/03/2008

Our guaranteed* route to romantic success

It takes a lot of courage to pop the question, so you’ll want to give yourself every chance of receiving the right answer. “41”, our ultra-luxurious boutique hotel tucked away opposite Buckingham Palace Mews, will set things up perfectly to make your task as easy as possible. We’ll help you plan every detail to make it easy for you to ask and even easier for her to say yes. We can’t guarantee success – you have a part to play here – but we can guarantee to provide a magical setting for the big moment.

We currently enjoy a 100% success rate, so we’re confident that with our help the operation will be a breeze. Simply follow the 7 steps outlined below and look forward to the years of married bliss that will surely follow. †

1. Choose your location carefully. Whether you decide to ask in the bedroom, in front of the fireplace, in a park, restaurant or hot air balloon, we can help plan the moment.
2. Let us help set the mood for the evening, either with a bottle of fine Champagne on arrival or a romantic turndown with candles, flowers, music and a bottle of vintage Champagne for your return to the hotel. Make it as simple and pure or as romantic and silly as you like; we can arrange everything.
3. We can also help with organising his and hers massages to help soothe nerves (yours, mainly) and to ensure you both feel as pampered, relaxed, and special as you deserve. 
4. Don’t want to go out? Let us arrange a romantic candlelit supper with Champagne, oysters, asparagus and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
5. We’ve done our bit: now it’s over to you. The mood is set, the room’s ready and the Champagne’s on ice. Ought to be a tap-in, really. So, take a deep breath, and …
6. What to do the next morning? Having got the answer you were after, you’ll want to celebrate in style. Enjoy a Champagne breakfast, then take her shopping; we’ll recommend the best boutiques and stores to head for. 
7. And it doesn’t end there. Book “41” for 2 nights on your 1st anniversary to relive the memories of your special first time with us and we’ll upgrade you to one of sumptuous Junior Suites.
   

So there you have it. If you’re ready to ask the question, we’ve got the perfect answer.

41's Romantically package, which includes a luxurious room, full English breakfast daily and a red rose upon arrival, is perfect for a romantic stay in London.
