2. Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi, Santa Fe

The American Southwest is filled with remote, honeymoon-worthy resorts. But for those who want a taste of the local arts and nature should post up in Santa Fe at this luxe hideaway in a 1900s-era building. Spend your days browsing the galleries in town, followed by dinner at the resort’s flagship restaurant, which sources ingredients from local farms for its southwestern-inspired dishes. You can even visit the local farmer’s market with the chef to pick that day’s produce. (Rooms from $495; rosewoodhotels.com)

3. Fairmont Le Cháteau Frontenac, Québec City, Québec

All your fairy-tale princess dreams will come true at this 1800-era storybook hotel, located within the walls of Québec’s Old City. The property recently underwent a multimillion-dollar refresh, making it an even better base for tours of Quebec’s Citadel, Dufferin Terrace, Montmorency National Park, and more. (Rooms from $466; fairmont.com)

4. St. Regis, San Francisco

With a great location just south of Market, the St. Regis has 214 guest rooms and 46 suites with leather-textured walls, window seating, oversized soaking tubs, and views of downtown San Francisco. The lobby bar is a see-and-be-seen spot for the city’s movers and shakers and you’re right next door to SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. (Rooms from $510; stregissanfrancisco.com)

5. Mandarin Oriental, New York City

New York honeymoons get more and more romantic the closer you get to Central Park. And this hotel has plenty of romance, given that it’s just steps from the city’s main greenery, in buzzy Columbus Circle. Stop for cocktails at the 35th-floor Sky Lobby, followed by dinner at the hotel’s Asiate restaurant—or go around the corner to get a Michelin-quality meal at restaurants like Jean-Georges or Per Se. (Rooms from $795; mandarinoriental.com)

6. Peninsula Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

The exterior of this 193-room stunner, just off Wilshire Boulevard, looks like that of a French château—which is fitting for the 90210, where palatial pads are a dime a dozen. On the inside, no detail goes overlooked, from the monogrammed pillows to the hand-painted finishes and full kitchen in suites. Expect super attentive service and a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. Take a quick walk over to LACMA or hail an Uber and check out the Getty Center. If the tourist thing isn’t for you, no worries—just hang in a poolside cabana and catch some Cali rays.

7. Setai Miami Beach

It may bet set on buzzy South Beach artery Collins Avenue, but the Setai feels more like an exclusive enclave in some faraway resort destination. Want tons of privacy? Sleek design? Zen vibes? Book a room here and you get all that, plus a fab location in the center of Miami’s most vibrant neighborhood—with tons of nightlife, luxury shopping, and restaurants to boot. (Rooms from $489; thesetaihotel.com)

8. The Carlyle, a Rosewood Hotel, New York City

The Carlyle is less hotel than New York City landmark, so if you plan to honeymoon in the Big Apple, there’s no place better to lay your heads. The 188 rooms, set in a 1930s Beaux Arts building, have played host to everyone from Jackie O to Lady Di and plenty of celebs for the annual Met Gala. Go for cocktails at lively, dimly lit Bemelmans Bar, just off the lobby, or catch a show at Café Carlyle, where Woody Allen often plays clarinet on Monday nights. (Rooms from $495; rosewoodhotels.com)

9. Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills

California cool meets Hollywood glam at this Doheny Drive enclave, which underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2016. Want chauffeured service to Rodeo Drive? Ring concierge to book a complimentary limo ride. Just want to chill? Hang in a cabana by the rooftop pool or relax in your Frette-linen-outfitted bed. Hungry for a taste of California? Try Culina, the ground-floor modern Italian restaurant and crudo bar. (Rooms from $595; fourseasons.com)

10. Baccarat Hotel and Residences, New York City

Located across the street from the Museum of Modern Art, this Midtown hot spot is equal parts New York honeymoon and French romance, owing to its namesake brand, the French crystal manufacturer. Everywhere you turn is filled with shimmering decadence, from the La Mer spa (first of its kind) to the chandelier-outfitted lounge and the dark and moody bar (expect a happening weeknight scene). (Rooms from $800; baccarathotels.com)
