Choosing a room or suite for romance
Pick a room type that matches how private or spacious you want your stay to be. River views and suites give more room and better waterfront outlooks for proposals or honeymoon mornings.

Best on-site places for a proposal moment
Riverfront spots at or near the hotel are the most natural choices: the River Deck Balconies and the hotel’s riverfront promenade provide waterfront backdrops at sunset or after dark.
If you prefer a private in-room proposal, reserve a river-view room or a suite and coordinate arrival/room setup with concierge or front desk staff in advance.
- River Deck Balconies: outdoor terraces overlooking the St. Johns River (used for ceremonies and receptions).
- Hotel riverfront promenade and nearby Southbank Riverwalk for a walk-and-propose moment.
- Rooftop and pool deck areas have skyline views — ask staff about access and privacy, as the pool area is a public hotel amenity.
| Spot | Why people choose it |
|---|---|
| River Deck Balconies | Direct river views, used for ceremonies and photos |
| Hotel riverfront promenade | Casual walkable waterfront area near the hotel |
| River-view room or Suite (St Johns) | Private, in-room waterfront moment |

For casual drinks or a waterfront bar atmosphere, TAVERN and the seasonal River Breeze Pool Bar are options. The Market (open 24 hours) provides Starbucks coffee and grab-and-go items if you need late-night snacks or a quick breakfast.
