Top Places to Get Engaged
Getting engaged is one of the biggest moments of your life and you want everything about it to be special – the ring, the timing, the gesture, but especially the setting. Thankfully the world is not short of luxurious and stunning exotic locations in which to pop the big question, from the glitzy desert city of Dubai to the steamy streets of Bangkok or the effortlessly romantic backdrop of gay Paris. With that in mind, here are some of the top places to propose to your other half – venues chosen for their romance, their novelty and their opulence, perfect qualities for the ideal proposal.
Vertigo and Moon Bar, Banyan Tree, Bangkok
Located on the 61st floor of this sophisticated luxury hotel, the Vertigo rooftop bar is a truly mesmerising place to pop the question. The views are to die for – sweeping vistas of the Thai capital at sunset, with the river glowing like a ribbon of gold in the distance, or fast-paced illuminated night-time Bangkok spread out before you like a glittering magic carpet. Enjoy a few drinks at the bar before popping the question or wait until you have crossed the open-air bridge to Vertigo Restaurant and savoured a romantic dinner of delicious cuisine including the finest imported steaks and mouth-watering seafood.
Shangri-La Paris
Paris is a city steeped in elegance, refinement and sophistication, and, of course, it is also famous for being the city of love – making it an outstanding place to pop the question to your beloved. For the perfect Parisian engagement spot, book a room or suite at the Shangri-La Paris, a bastion of opulence and luxury which offers stunning views of the River Seine and the iconic Eiffel Tower. Reserve the lavish Duplex Eiffel Tower View to make the most of the vista and propose in the elegant surroundings of your suite, or head to L’Abeille, an upscale and enchanting French dining restaurant ideally situated by the garden, and pop the question over your meal.
The Lost Chambers, Atlantis, Dubai
Dubai is a city of exoticism, glamour and style, making it an ideal place to whisk away your significant other and seal your romance with that most crucial question. Book a room at Atlantis The Palm, one of the city’s finest luxury resorts, then stroll hand in hand with your beloved to the Lost Chambers, the hotel’s breath-taking aquarium. While admiring the vibrant marine life swimming serenely among a replica of the lost city of Atlantis, make the most of this novel location, get down on one knee and – well, you know the rest.
