Give not a bouquet, but a trip: how to spend March 8th at Accor hotels

Why an impression gift is the best choice

Creating a gift impression is a conscious step that speaks to a deep understanding of the partner. It is based on a simple but powerful principle: to turn moments of rest into warming memories. March 8th at the hotel will be just such a gift. 

Emotions versus things: what remains with us

A physical gift, even the most expensive one, loses its novelty over time. For example, flowers will wither sooner or later, but a positive emotion — joy, surprise, a sense of serenity — remains in memory as a vivid picture that can be experienced over and over again. You are giving a moment that cannot wear out or break.

Shared experiences as the foundation of a relationship

If you choose a trip or a weekend at a hotel on March 8, you are giving your time and attention. Breakfast with a view of the sea, a walk through a new city, relaxing in the spa become your common points on the relationship map, strengthening the bond much stronger than any material thing.

Caring expressed through freedom from routine

For a woman who combines dozens of roles every day, the highest form of care is the opportunity to forget about household chores for a while. A gift for March 8 in the form of a rest in a hotel conveys a message: "I made sure that you could rest." It's not her who will cook, clean and plan, but someone else. This allows you to really relax and recuperate.

How to choose a hotel on March 8th: four scenarios

The best gift for a woman is one that takes into account her character and true desires. So that you can easily find an option that will cause your spouse or just your lover sincere delight, we have prepared four ready-made holiday scenarios.

For a connoisseur of high style and impeccable service

This format is designed for those who feel at home in an atmosphere of elegance and attention to detail. Celebrating March 8th with such women would be ideal at the following Accor hotels:

• Swissotel Krasnye Hills Moscow. The hotel is synonymous with restrained elegance. The main advantage is the unique location on the banks of the Moskva River with stunning views of the capital from many rooms and the lounge bar. Here you can plan an unforgettable evening: start with a cocktail at altitude, and then go for a walk along the embankment. This is the choice for those who want to give a feeling of celebration and immersion in the Moscow gloss on March 8th.
• SO/Saint Petersburg. If your companion appreciates bold art objects, non-standard design, and creative atmosphere, this hotel was created for her. Located in a historic building, it combines the heritage of St. Petersburg with a vibrant modern look at architecture. Thoughtful interiors, original details, and the energy of one of the most creative areas of the city make this hotel an ideal place for an inspiring weekend.

By choosing any of the two hotels, you will create an atmosphere of a special holiday where a woman will feel truly valuable.

For those who dream of complete rest and self-care

The main purpose of such a gift is to allow her to switch completely, take time to restore and find harmony. In which hotels is this particularly easy to achieve:

• Swissotel Resort Sochi Camellia. A great place for a wellness stay at the hotel. The hallmark is a modern thermal spa complex with various pools, including an outdoor heated one, which is available even in early spring. Direct access to a private beach and a large park add the power of natural therapy to the celebration on March 8th. You can devote your days to alternating procedures, swimming, and leisurely walks, completely disconnecting from the urban rhythm.
• Mövenpick Resort & SPA Anapa. The resort complex offers the perfect mix of relaxation and light entertainment. After a spa session or a hammam ritual, you can go to a concert right on the hotel grounds or take a walk along the city's waterfront. This format is suitable for a dynamic holiday, where deep relaxation is harmoniously combined with positive emotions and activity.

Give your companion the opportunity to forget about fatigue, give her a resource for recovery — this will be the most valuable manifestation of care.

For a woman looking for privacy and romance

The emphasis here is on your communication, creating an intimate atmosphere, and sharing your impressions of beautiful places. The idea for a romantic date on March 8 is to spend a weekend in a new city, staying at one of the Accor hotels. Interesting options:

• Mercure Kaliningrad Center. A hotel with European charm in the heart of the most unusual Russian city. Its atmosphere is saturated with the history and spirit of Konigsberg. After exploring the island of Kanta, the bridges and the quarters of the Fishing Village, it is so nice to return to the cozy boutique hotel. This is an excellent base for making a mini-vacation not only intense and informative, but also as comfortable as possible.
• Novotel Yekaterinburg Center. It offers a ready-made and thoughtful solution for a couple. A special rate for lovers allows you not to think about the details: a buffet breakfast, a fitness room, and relaxation in a sauna with a relaxation room are included in the price. The hotel is located in the city center. The picturesque river embankment nearby is an ideal place for leisurely walks and steamy photos. 

This scenario will give you the most important thing — time spent alone with each other in a new, inspiring environment.

For the active and curious urban conqueror

The scenario is for those who are energized by the energy of the metropolis, who like to explore new things, discover unusual places, and be in the center of events. Such women will enjoy staying in Accor hotels in the capital:

• Mövenpick Moscow Taganskaya. A vibrant hotel in a modern area known for its gastronomic diversity and lively atmosphere. This is a place where you can feel the pulse of modern Moscow. Nearby there are trendy cafes, art spaces, historical places like Taganka and Rogozhskaya Sloboda. The hotel itself has a Shagal restaurant with original cuisine. The price includes access to the spa complex with a swimming pool. 
• Novotel Moscow City. The choice is for those who want to find themselves in the epicenter of business and social life. The windows offer futuristic views of the skyscrapers of Moscow City. The developed infrastructure of the business district creates a feeling of perpetual motion and drive. After a day of shopping at Afimall or visiting the observation decks, you can slow down a little and watch the lights of the capital's most ambitious architectural project come on.

A gift in the form of such an adventure will emphasize that you appreciate a woman's curiosity and are ready to go anywhere with her.

Budget but spectacular options

It may seem that celebrating March 8th in a hotel requires a lot of spending. But this is not necessary. It is important to think over the scenario and choose a charismatic hotel at a low cost. Accor offers options that give vivid impressions while remaining affordable.

Style without overpayments: ibis

The ibis hotels are located in many cities of Russia. Here are just a couple of examples:

• ibis Krasnodar Center. The main trump card is an ideal location in the heart of the Kuban capital. The windows overlook historic buildings, and the main pedestrian street starts right at the entrance. In the morning, you can have breakfast in the hotel's bright restaurant, and then go for a walk in the picturesque park or explore local gastronomic spots. This option turns March 8 into an intense urban adventure with accommodation in a modern room equipped with everything you need.
• ibis Irkutsk Center. The epitome of modern Siberian hospitality. The hotel is located within walking distance of the waterfront and iconic attractions, making it an excellent base from which to explore the city. After an excursion to the Angara icebreaker or a walk through the central quarters, you return to the room with an original design, where every detail creates a sense of comfort.

Country spa in Moscow region

If you live near Moscow and want peace and complete immersion in your vacation on March 8, but you don't have the time or budget for flights, pay attention to Arthurs SPA Hotel by Mercure. This hotel is located in a picturesque forest just 20 km from the Moscow Ring Road.
