Perfect Paris

Paris has been wrapped up with the meaning of love for centuries.They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Why not put that saying to the test in the home of Cordon Bleu? Schools such as La Cuisine offer classes to that effect, often hosting the classes in top Paris hotels.

Brilliant Barcelona

Are you looking to feed the mind as well as the body? Barcelona has many different kinds of culture from an impressive Picasso Museum, to the slightly naughty Erotic Museum just off the Ramblas.

There is only so much time a respectable hen can give to culture, especially when pampering calls. You’ll find some great spas at Barcelona hotels. Try the treatments at uber trendy Barceló Raval, a short walk from Las Ramblas.

Darling Dublin

Dublin is a mixture of the homely and the debauched.Get your hen celebrations off to a great start with a breakfast at landmark Dublin cafe Bewleys.

There are some excellent Dublin hotels in the city centre. There are some fantastic streets to explore in Dublin, not least the exciting Grafton Street.Philip Treacy, John Rocha, Paul Costelloe, and Quin and Donnelly are some top Irish designers represented here.
