The Most Romantic Weekend Getaways in the US

"What’s to love: The design-forward, all-suite W South Beach is a more mature representation of the W brand thanks mainly to a calming aesthetic, defined by natural oak furnishings, beach house-style millwork, and a mingling of earth tones with pops of coral and teal. Views of the Atlantic Ocean abound, whether through the floor-to-ceiling windows or from the balconies found in every room. Of course, there’s a great lounge-y vibe across the common areas and a sizzling pool scene—it is a W, after all. But the hotel is far more elevated than your standard W fare with features like a multi-million dollar art collection in the lobby and extensive programming including yoga sessions, high-interval training, cocktail-making classes, plus cigars and convo with the property’s beloved General Manager (and cigar aficionado) Rick Ueno. Romance factor: Book a relaxing massage in the couple’s room at the 9,000-square-foot Away Spa, where all treatments come with a bonus 30 minutes for luxuriating in the private, oversize steam shower. Alternate between beach time along the W’s dedicated stretch of sand and pool time in a private cabana. Sip on sunset cocktails at Irma’s, the hotel’s tropical outdoor bar, then dine at one of Miami’s top tables. (We recommend Klaw in Edgewater for a seductive, memorable affair and Delilah in Downtown for a jazz-heavy, Miami glam supper club experience.)
