| Our Selection |  | | Shangri-La Hotel, Paris | | Once the residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, the Shangri-La Hotel, Paris offers a prime location for a romantic holiday in the City of Light. For a start, there is its setting, near the Seine River, and intimate vibe of a nobleman's home with an elaborately carved facade, a grand marble entryway and rooms with terraces overlooking the Eiffel Tower. No surprise it’s a top pick for proposals, honeymoons, and of course, Valentine’s Day. | | | | |  | | Villa Cora, Florence | | Housed in a 19th-century mansion that once belonged to Empress Eugenie and then an Egyptian pasha, Villa Cora’s 46 rooms and suites ooze old-world elegance. Think frescoed ceilings, embroidered baldachins, heavy satin drapes in shades of gold, green and burgundy and old-world chandeliers… This is romance like it happened in the 19th century, and there is nothing quite like it. | | | | |  | | The Greenwich Hotel, New York | | For this Robert De Niro-imagined hotel set in a cobblestone quarter of Lower Manhattan, the romance lies in its privacy and exclusivity. The lobby is hung with abstract paintings by De Niro’s father, and beyond, a book-filled drawing room appears that feeds into a pocket garden. The rooms are just as charming, idiosyncratically arranged with antique silk rugs, hand-carved furniture and marble bathtubs while the Shibui Spa, where a lantern-lit pool glimmers in a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse, is a highlight in its own right... | | | | |  | | Badrutt's Palace Hotel, St. Moritz | | Is there a more romantic getaway than an alpine ski resort with towers and turrets and views over a crystalline lake? This is the fairytale setting that awaits loved up couples at the Badrutt's Palace Hotel, in the center of St. Moritz and a go-to destination for celebrities and royalty since it opened in 1896. | | | | |  | | Coworth Park, Ascot | | It’s the Georgian manor house where Prince Harry stayed the night before his wedding to Meghan Markle. The Coworth Park, set on a 240-acre estate in Ascot, is a hotel manicured to perfection, from the four-poster beds and huge bathtubs in the rooms to its elegant restaurants, stellar lineup of activities and spa where a slick pool takes place of pride, lined with amethyst crystals and where music plays underwater. | | | | | | | |  | | Winter Wonderlands | | From Copenhagen to the quaint town of Gstaad in Switzerland | | |  | | A spotlight on Morocco | | Where to go, where to stay and what to do | | | |  | | Dive Headfirst... | | 11 of the most beautiful hotel pools in our collection right now | | | | | | |
