It’s that time of year – when sweet sentiments get shared and the heart emoji gets used a lot. And nothing says Valentine’s Day like a romantic trip (well, maybe a box of chocolates). So whether you’ve got a blossoming romance, or a long term love, we’ve got a dreamy escape that’s sure to make you feel the love.
We’ve compiled 6 wildly different (but all romantic) options for you to spend Valentine’s Day, or the whole weekend, with the one you love. We’ve got a mountain getaway to set the mood, an LA hotel to start your love story, a riverside glamping spot to jump start your romance, and other lodgings you’ll definitely fall in love with. We’ve even included a link for each property to make it even easier to book. So check them out, make your reservation and put that privacy sign on the door (wink wink).
