Passion and romance take center stage at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila from February 12-14, 2010, as Sofitel presents Hot Hearts, a Valentine interlude. Elegant accommodations, indulgent culinary masterpieces and festive entertainment are thoughtfully designed to inspire, excite and enthrall couples in love.

Overnight stays for two are wonderfully romantic, as guests are welcomed with a luxurious blanket of rose petals adorning crisp, white sheets upon arrival. A sensual one-hour massage for the pair and a box of decadent pralines await. As a bolder option for the perfect Valentine retreat, a ritual of chocolate-dipped strawberries and a bottle of champagne are on offer, altering lovers� moods in profound and delicious ways. Breakfast for two in bed, or at Spiral, is sure to carry the previous evening's ardor throughout the rest of the day.

From February 13-14, 2010, love is oh-so-caliente as Spiral, 7Pecados, Sunset Bar and LeBar go all-out Latino! Special food and beverage menus are specially prepared by Executive Chef Marko Rankel, showcasing exotic, titillating flavors. Among them, spicy grills and succulent dips to tease the discerning palate; the classic paella and mixed lobster and prawn thermidore to encourage hearty appetites. As the sun goes down, tangy margaritas, spirited caipirinhas and minty mojitos tickle the soul, as couples move their bodies all night to the fiery samba beats of the acclaimed Brazilian band, Guarana. Catching the famous Manila Bay sunset is always recommended, especially this season of love, at SoChill. Lounge on giant, white pillows strewn over verdant grass at cocktail hour, and revel in the breathtaking view of the orange-pink horizon. Sofitel's signature cocktails, varied tapas selection and flavorful shishas further enhance the sunset experience.

For the rest of the month of February, love is always in the air as check-in guests delight in the most romantic of video classics. Pralines from LeBar and a hearty breakfast for two at Spiral are complimentary.

All of February, guests may enjoy 20% off food items (except for Room Service and Minibar) and 50% off LeSpa's Signature Massage. At Sofitel, there are just so many loving ways to say Je t�aime. Life is magnifique!
