  3. Chocoholics will not be able to resist staying in Blanch House's sumptuous Galaxy room which is inspired by the chocolate bar www.blanchhouse.co.uk
  4. The Prince Regent was well-known as a lady's man, and you can bring the spirit of Regency romance to life in the Royal Pavilion room at Brighton Pavilions www.brightonpavilions.com
  5. Get swept away in the romance of Gone with the Wind in the Clark Gable room at Colson House www.colsonhouse.co.uk
  6. The uber stylish Kemp Townhouse is a luxurious treat whether you book a cosy double or the fabulous four poster www.kemptownhouse.com
  7. The Royal York Hotel has recently been restored to it's former glory so couples can now sleep where the Duke and Duchess of Clarence stayed www.royalyorkbrighton.co.uk
  8. Sea Spray is a themed boutique hotel and couples will love the boudoir suite complete with feather boas, chandeliers and a four poster bed www.seaspraybrighton.co.uk
  9. Each of the rooms at snooze has been colourfully decorated and couples will fall for room 6 which has been decadently styled with Victorian photos of a slightly risqué nature www.snoozebrighton.com
  10. For an existential break; book a room at myhotel where each floor is designed to relate to the body's 'chakras'. Romantics may be drawn to the Heart Chakra although the Sexual Chakra is located in the lower abdomen or stomach, presumably this is way they say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach www.myhotels.com
