The Lowell — New York City

There is nothing quite like a romantic getaway in New York City — and no one goes over the top with luxury offerings quite like New York City hotels. The Lowell, a landmark Manhattan property at the edge of Central Park, is just the place to whisk your loved one off for an indulgent weekend of shopping along Fifth Avenue and taking leisurely strolls through the park. And if your loved one happens to be a fan of fine jewelry, then this is the package for you.

This February, the hotel is partnering with Graff, one of the world’s premier jewel purveyors. The Luxury of Love package includes an overnight in a room or suite of guests’ choosing, as well as a smattering of gifts from Graff, including a half-carat heart pendant necklace, a signature diffuser and a box of the brand’s own chocolates. The gifts will be presented with Champagne and flowers, of course, and the happy couple can opt to add dinner, enjoying a three-course meal at Majorelle, the hotel’s French-Moroccan restaurant.

Rates for one night for the Luxury with Love package at The Lowell start at $5,420, which includes overnight accommodations in a Lowell king room, gifts from Graff, Champagne, a bouquet of roses and a full American breakfast for two. The rate including dinner for two at Majorelle is $5,590. This package is available through Feb. 29.

Located in the bustling Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia, the Kimpton Palomar offers visitors, locals and IHG loyalists a comfortable stay (guest rooms are notably spacious) in stylish, art deco-forward accommodations. The hotel’s on-site restaurant, Square 1682, is the ideal spot to cozy up for a cocktail and some New American fare — it even offers heated outdoor seating in the wintertime.

Friends, family, couples and even pet-and-owner duos can celebrate Valentine’s Day in Philly with the hotel’s Love How You Love package. Guests will be able to choose two amenities from a curated list that includes an in-room bathtub spa setup, custom mugs with in-room hot chocolate service, “Barkuterie + Charcuterie” for furry friends and a thoughtfully chosen bottle of wine.

Rates at Kimpton Palomar for the Love How You Love package start at $189. This package is available for stays through March 31 and must be booked 48 hours before check-in.

Jamaica Inn — Ochos Rios, Jamaica

Fun fact: Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller spent their honeymoon at the Jamaica Inn in 1957. This Valentine’s Day, you can recreate poses from that event (or create your own) with a couples photoshoot on the beach here as an add-on to the resort’s Celebration of Love package.

Located on a secluded, sandy cove juxtaposed against turquoise waters just east of Ocho Rios, the boutique resort has attracted celebrities since opening in the mid-20th century. The hotel sits on 8 acres and exudes a romantic, yesteryear flair with its laid-back island glam and lack of in-room TVs. Suites have Caribbean Sea views from furnished balconies, and the cottages are the perfect place to plan a proposal (they come with private plunge pools and outdoor showers).

The Celebration of Love package includes a minimum two-night stay as well as a bottle of chilled Champagne upon arrival, a floating tray breakfast in your plunge pool if you book a cottage, a five-course dinner under the stars with live entertainment at the Terrace Restaurant, a private candlelit dinner on the beach at Teddy’s Beach Bar & Grill with a dedicated server and a one-hour couples massage at sunset. VIP airport transfers with fast-track access through immigration and security are also included.

Rates for the Celebration of Love Package at Jamaica Inn start at $1,821 per night. The package amenities are based on a minimum two-night occupancy, with additional nights from $751. A one-hour photo shoot costs an additional $500. To book, call or email the resort and mention the package to the concierge, who will assist you.

The only private-island resort in the U.S., Little Palm Island is in a remote locale off the Florida Keys. It doesn’t see much light pollution, making it an ideal stargazing destination. The package includes three nights in an Island Romance Suite with a high-tech telescope for a romantic celestial experience. You’ll also have a dedicated, on-island Celestial Concierge to help plan the ultimate stargazing experience for two, including a two-hour private yacht cruise with high-tech binoculars and a constellation map, Champagne and light fare.

The reason this package is so expensive, however, is the personalized welcome amenities. Choose from a Van Cleef & Arpels Zodiaque long necklace in your zodiac sign, David Yurman Maritime Compass cufflinks and engraved Champagne coupe glasses with the longitude and latitude of the island.

The resort is an adults-only property only accessible by seaplane or boat. Set on 4 acres, it is a favored getaway for the world’s rich and famous.
