This historic inn has just seven suites, with high ceilings, canopy or four-poster beds, polished hardwood floors, and rich fabrics. The handsome 1859 mansion is a quiet escape outside the French Quarter, overlooking Washington Square Park. A lush, dramatically lighted rear courtyard and pool add to the tranquil, romantic atmosphere.

Encore Las Vegas Las Vegas, NV
Wynn's beautiful all-suite resort has intimate common areas and expansive private spaces. Room sizes start at 700 square feet, and all have floor-to-ceiling windows, a soaking tub for two, and pillow-top beds dressed in Egyptian cotton. Instead of being merely another sprawling gambling hangar, the casino has a collection of quiet, partitioned gaming rooms. The XS nightclub is, provocatively, "inspired by the sexy curves of the human body."

Halekulani Waikiki, HI
Waikiki beach is romantic in itself; combine this location with the world-renowned service of Halekulani and, if your wallet allows, the resort's Vera Wang Suite, and you'll fall in love all over again. The suite's oceanside lanai opens to expansive views of iconic Diamond Head, and Ms. Wang herself oversees the fresh flower arrangements, just one of many touches throughout Halekulani that make it a top choice for romance.

The Inn of the Five Graces has a romantic setting, nestled in a leafy Santa Fe neighborhood. Mystical touches, such as dream catchers on your pillow, and an exotic Southwest-meets-Bali decor, draw you even farther into a bewitching landscape. Rooms have luxurious teakwood beds; most also have fireplaces, soaking tubs, and walk-in steam showers. The personal service and attention to detail are impeccable.

Library Hotel New York, NY
Literary types with sexy-librarian fantasies will be in heaven here. Rooms come stocked with rare books and enough amenities to keep you indoors, emerging only for complimentary wine and cheese in the evening. Brazen couples can request the "erotica" room, with its corresponding books. The Erotic and Cupid's Pink Romance packages will surely keep the fires stoked.

With direct views of magnificent Haystack Rock, Stephanie Inn is on what is arguably the most beautiful stretch of the Oregon coast.

Union Street Inn Nantucket Town, MA
From the exterior's gray cedar shingles to the classic nautical prints on the walls, the Union Street Inn exudes the kind of New England charm that puts you in the mood for cuddling. Here it's done under fluffy quilts and by the light of a fire. After a night of tending the flames (as it were), refuel downstairs with a pitch-perfect made-to-order breakfast.

Ventana Inn & Spa Big Sur, CA
Big Sur is a romantic location even if your only amenities are a tent and double-occupancy sleeping bag; Ventana Inn & Spa earns our attention by creating a luxuriously romantic atmosphere that respects the spirit of this special landscape. In-room features might include a wood-burning fireplace, in-deck whirlpool, or outdoor hammock. End the day with a spa treatment for two or a long soak in your two-person tub.
