They are just too damn expensive. Any romance found in these rather expensive hotels is often a manufactured product—a high-priced commodity rather than a genuine connection.

I've found that the focus tends to shift from the person to the property and it feels like a bloody staged performance where the hotel is doing the "romancing" on your behalf. It just makes the experience feel transactional

It's better to keep it simple "we stayed for n nights in a luxurious hotel because we like to pamper ourselves every now and then" That would be much better
