For Valentine’s celebrations this year, The Alfond Inn at Rollins is putting some sparkle in the tropical air with a new Romance in the Park package. Couples can check into a Classic Room, where a bottle of chilled champagne and a specialty cake for two awaits them, then slip down to dinner at the award-winning Hamilton’s Kitchen where Chef Stephen Doyle’s menu champions Florida products and classic favorites.  Because parting is such sweet sorrow, the hotel has extended the Romance in the Park package through the month of February.

Among the many reasons to love The Alfond Inn, the rooftop pool deck at The Alfond Inn at Rollins is a welcome couples retreat for relaxation, reading or a few laps before heading down for cocktail hour at the lobby bar and dinner indoors or al fresco at Hamilton’s Kitchen. Historic Winter Park is renowned for being one of the most charming and walkable cities in Florida. The main street, Park Avenue, is two blocks from the hotel, an avenue of fashionable boutiques, sidewalk cafés, galleries and restaurants. Three major art museums are within strolling distance. It’s a package that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day but since romance is well worth celebrating anytime, it’s also available throughout the winter and spring.
