Great Escape: Belamere Suites

 Belamere Suites, a romantic hotel getaway that's only a 90 mile drive from Westlake, is situated in the quiet town of Perrysburg, just south of Toledo. This unique and lavish hotel is unlike anything else in the area, and guests, which range from honeymooners to husbands and wives, have given this almost-utopic hotel rave reviews.

The accommodations at Belamere Suites are nothing short of breathtaking. Each suite offers its inhabitants a private entrance, a personal one-car garage and a wonderful park-like setting that will have you feeling as if you'd traveled to a real out-of-state vacation destination. The hotel features a host of goodies: free high-speed wireless Internet, DirecTV service with more than 100 channels, access to the local YMCA, 24 hour coffee and tea, snack services and concierge and a business center with fax and copy services for business people on the go. Who's to say you can't work and play at the same time?

What really makes Belamere so exciting, though, are the creative suites that leave no stone unturned when it comes to exclusive luxury. The Ultimate Jacuzzi Suite features a huge king-size bed with down comforter, a two-person jacuzzi tub, a 6 x 8 foot walk-in shower for two, velour bath robes for you and your partner, a three-sided fireplace at the foot of the bed, a 42-inch high definition flat panel TV that swivels so it can be viewed anywhere in the 500-square foot suite and a mini-fridge stocked with cold water and soda pop (of course, champage is also available). 

Belamere's Presidential Pool Suites offer guests all of the amenities mentioned in the Jacuzzi Suite, plus an 18 x 11 foot indoor pool right in your room. Yes, you heard that right: your very own pool, which is heated to a wonderful 92 degrees so you'll never be chilly. Does it get any better than that? 

Actually, yes: the Royal Suite (there is only one) offers guests a 1500-square foot two-story loft suite that features all of the amenities offered by the Jacuzzi and pool suites, plus a private dry-heat sauna with CD player, two flat screen TVs and a four-foot crystal fireplace. Now doesn't that sound nice? 

In-room massage services are also available. Belamere only employs professionally licensed massage therapists to help you melt all of your stresses away.

While Belamere Suites doesn't offer an onsite restaurant, it does partner with several local restaurants to offer catered dining services to hotel guests. Restaurants like Balance Pan-Asian Grille, The Briarfield Cafe, Casa Barron, The Mango Tree, Pasta Fina and even Texas Roadhouse make the list, so many types of cuisine are offered. 

In the morning, all guests will enjoy muffins and pastries delivered to their rooms, along with fresh orange juice. 

Rates for the suites range from $99 to $399 per night, depending on the day of the week and type of suite. Credit card information must be left at the time of deposit.
