This changes things (I missed the birthday part). If you are already planning on a hotel room this makes it even easier...
In my mind there is no question that you should enlist the assistance of a friend (and barring that, pay the consierge to do it) to light the candles, draw a hot bath, have some champagne on ice and some sort of dessert ready. In this case, strawberries and chocolate would be good... they go amazingly well with champagne (don't cheap out on the chamagne get at least a bottle of Veuve) and you can feed them to each other...
When you get back to the room, just say you wanted to make everything nice for her... say you paid the consierge to set it up (even if you didn't).
At this point you can either ask her now and enjoy the rest of the stuff while you bask in the fact you are going to be married
OR
Draw it out a bit further. Keep it in the vein of the birthday. Blow her mind that you would do all this for her on her birthday. After the bath and the champagne and the strawberries, etc. she is relaxing like the queen she is... it is now that you should propose. Any suspicion that you are going to ask her to marry you will have been banished by now. She will have expected you to do it either at the restaurant or right away. Just when she let's her guard down.... BAM you ask her.
She will be blown away.
