In the city that never sleeps, there is a bevy of romantic hotel options from The William Vale in Brooklyn to The Pierre overlooking Central Park, gorgeous spots to rest and recharge after a day gallivanting around the Greatest City in the World. Take in a Broadway show, enjoy a leisurely dinner at Le Bernardin, or an afternoon visiting The Guggenheim. Whatever your inclination—bagels in the park or a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge—you’ll find no shortage of romantic options.
When it comes to romance, there is no one-size-fits-all. What stirs romantic vibes and elicits romance differs from couple to couple. While some people equate romance with upscale, multi-course dinners complete with champagne and caviar, others want a beach resort that promises to pamper, and others seek out shared adventures, like rock-climbing in the desert or trekking miles to jaw-dropping views to get in the mood.
Whether you're after steamy action—a nightlife scene where cozy snuggling in a leather banquette is all but mandatory—or spa-induced bliss—couples massage, anyone?—the most romantic cities in the US will get hearts singing in no time.
