The 8 Most Romantic Hotels in America

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary celebration, or couples’ vacation, a roadside motel just isn’t going to cut it when you’re trying to woo that special someone. Set the scene for love by booking a room at one of the most romantic hotels in America. 

With stunning views, in-room jacuzzis, roaring fireplaces, and other amorous amenities, you may find yourself unable to leave the room for the entire stay—and that’s the point. Book one of these romantic hotels and get ready to hang up that Do Not Disturb sign.

After strolling hand in hand through Central Park, a room at the Ritz Carlton New York, Central Park provides a romantic respite just steps away. Occupying a prime park-front location, the views at the Ritz Carlton are so stunning that you’ll find it tough to tear yourself away from your room (fortunately, room service is available 24 hours a day.)

If you do make it out of the room, the hotel offers prepacked picnic lunches that are perfect for a romantic afternoon in Central Park.

You don’t have to leave the United States to escape to a private island resort—there’s one right here in the Florida Keys. With white sand beaches, private thatched-roof bungalows, and plenty of seclusion, you could be forgiven for mistaking Little Palm Island for the Maldives. 

Little Palm Island cultivates a highly romantic atmosphere by restricting guests to those aged 18 and above and keeping suites free of telephones and televisions.

You won’t find a more romantic backdrop for a honeymoon, anniversary, babymoon, or couples’ trip than at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai. This Maui jewel boasts unobstructed, 180-degree ocean views of three Hawaiian islands and mountains. 

The peaceful five-star property has just 72 suites spread out on its 15 acres of ocean-view land, guaranteeing privacy. The Zen-inspired landscaped grounds with lush tropical gardens and waterfalls feel a million miles away from hectic mega-resorts found elsewhere on the island.
