In love at first stay

Valentine’s Day on a Saturday – the most romantic hotels by Quality Lodgings 

Time together is the greatest gift of all. And with Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, there’s no better excuse to celebrate life with the one you love. Sometimes it just happens: one glance, one moment – and you know, this is it. That’s exactly the feeling a stay at Quality Lodgings (QL) evokes. Not just a hotel, but a place where atmosphere, attention, and hospitality come together to create lasting memories. From hidden hideaways in nature to wellness hotels by the water and restaurants where love truly goes through the stomach – these are the places where quality time becomes an art form. 

Quality Time, Quality Lodgings – in love at first stay 

Quality Lodgings brings together a handpicked collection of independent hotels where passion for hospitality is felt in every detail. Behind every door is a hotelier who pours heart and soul into making guests feel truly seen and welcome. Each address is carefully selected for its character, atmosphere, and craftsmanship — no standard rooms, but unique locations with their own story. Once you’ve experienced the warmth and attention of a QL Hotel, you’ll know instantly: this is love at first stay. For Valentine’s Day, Quality Lodgings highlights three themes to make hearts beat faster. 

“At a QL Hotel, it’s all about that moment you walk in and feel: this is right. The warm welcome and genuine attention make a stay unforgettable — and to us, that’s love at first stay.” – Pauline Verhoef, Managing Director Quality Lodgings
