Hotels for the question.

A proposal hotel needs to do exactly one thing very well: deliver a private moment with a view. Every other criterion bends to that one. The list below is short on purpose. These are the hotels we have personally recommended for proposals, where the answer was yes — and where the room afterwards mattered as much as the question.

What you are looking for: a rooftop, a terrace, a balcony, or a beach where you can be alone for ten uninterrupted minutes. A view that earns its position. A concierge who can keep a secret. A bottle of champagne that arrives at the right second. The hotels below all have a designated “proposal package” — but the better ones don't need it.
