Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show the special lady in your life just how much she means to you. Nothing says it better than a beautiful bouquet of flowers or a stunning piece of high jewelry. In this carefully-curated guide, Elite Traveler brings you a list of luxury Valentine’s gifts for her that are sure to be a hit.
The Dorchester Rose Bouquet
Every Valentine’s Day should start with a beautiful bouquet of roses, and The Dorchester, one of London’s most iconic hotels, has released an extra-special variety perfect for the occasion. The Dorchester Rose was developed by Meijer Roses over the course of seven years. The result is a flower that is blousy in composition and has a pale blush coloring, with the pink tones developing as the rose opens. Meijer Roses hand-selected The Dorchester to carry the name of the new variety, and it is only available through at the Florist at The Dorchester boutique or the website. And if you are in London for Valentine’s Day, a stop at the Park Lane hotel is definitely worth your while. Roughly 1,000 Dorchester Roses are currently on display in the hotel’s lobby, transforming it into a floral paradise and making it one of the city’s most romantic spots this month.
