From Canyon Hideaways to Serene Ocean Views, These Destinations Set The Scene

BY // 01.20.25

While heart-shaped tubs may have earned their place in the hall of questionable design choices, we have to admire the commitment to setting the mood for romance. Luckily, today’s luxury properties have mastered a far more subtle art of seduction. Coveted escapes for couples have thankfully moved beyond tacky love-themed decor, trading kitschy cupid tricks for lavish ambiance, adventure experience, cozy accommodations, and attentive service that inspire l-o-v-e. 

These new temples of romance understand that true luxury lies in the whispered details: the private terrace that seems to float above the ocean, the indulgent room service breakfast by a crackling fireplace, or a cozy robe to warm you up for a relaxing massage. In an age of constant connection, some hotels have perfected the art of making a loving duo feel like they are the only ones on earth. 

Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, toasting a milestone, or simply due for some quality time with your main squeeze, here are the 7 most romantic hotels in North America. No sweetheart clichés required.
