For couples looking to go beyond flowers and chocolates, the Lofty Pleasures Romance package literally puts you “on cloud nine” with a helicopter ride over Manhattan. After taking in the view, couples return to find their room stocked with a surprise treasure chest and champagne. Since Tuscany NYC is a new property, you’ll take advantage of grand opening rates beginning at $239; the Lofty Pleasures Romance package is additional.

Get mushy with a dogsled ride around Mirror Lake in the Adirondacks, complimentary with the resort’s (still running) Valentine’s Day package, which includes a host of romantic add-ons to make the experience cozy and complete. Is your sweetie green? The Golden Arrow became the first and only resort in the United States to achieve a 5 Green Leaf rating from the Audubon Society for its eco initiatives, which include guest recycling programs and alternative energy sources like solar panels.
