25 Most Romantic Hotels Worth the Splurge

The 25 below are grouped by region, starting with the United States. Each pick names the suite, villa or package that makes it romantic, and where a hotel publishes a price, we've included it, as listed on its own website on 30 October 2026. Eighteen of them are venues you can also find on Wedded Wonderland.

The United States and the Caribbean

2. Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur

High on the cliffs of Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn was built as a place for adults, and you need to be 18 to check in. Book the Cliff House or the Peak House for a soaking tub with the Pacific below.
