Couples
While at California’s luxury Post Ranch Inn, set atop the cliffs at Big Sur, you can relax in a hot tub on your balcony looking out over the Pacific. At the eccentrically-offbeat Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California, every one of the 109 rooms is themed with options including the plushly- furnished Romance Room and Love Birds Room, and several rooms themed as caves, complete with rock walls in the bedroom and bathroom and even a rock waterfall shower. Cove Haven Pocono Resort in
Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains offers four-level Champagne Tower suites featuring a whirlpool bath for two set in a seven-foot champagne glass, a heart- shaped indoor pool, sauna and massage table. Alternatively, bed down in a
giant wigwam at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, on Route 66 in Arizona.

How about a stay five fathoms
(30 feet) below the Key Largo waves? Jules Undersea Lodge is a converted underwater laboratory sleeping just two couples, who must wear diving kit and dive down to a 'room' with porthole windows looking out onto a lagoon of tropical fish. Historic hotels offer another
romantic twist. Stay in a Southern plantation inn and you could imagine yourselves as Rhett Butler and Scarlet O’Hara in Gone with the Wind. Step back in time at places including Louisiana’s Nottoway Plantation alongside the Mississippi, Lichfield Plantation on Pawleys Island in South Carolina, and Monmouth Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi, where a Romance Getaway package includes sparkling wine and chocolate-dipped strawberries. At the venerable Hotel
Monteleone in New Orleans’ French Quarter, room 1462 offers great Mississippi river views – but is said to be haunted by the ghost of a boy who died in the room.
