When planning a trip with that special someone in your life, it’s easy to get lost amongst the hotels and resorts boasting the promise of a romantic getaway. For example, many would argue that settings such as Paris and Venice are the epitome of romance – and rightly too, considering the history, elegance and architecture of these cities.
However, there is a range of other locations and properties that should be included in round-ups of romantic destinations, which is why we have chosen to create this list of the most romantic hotel suites in the world. From private islands and golden sand beaches to rolling countryside estates and classic city retreats, we’ve chosen a range of hotels and settings that you are sure to fall in love with time and time again.

Found in one of Rome’s most stunning palazzos, the St. Regis Rome has been an iconic part of the city’s tapestry since 1984. The hotel, which overlooks Baths of Diocletian, has recently undergone a multi-million-dollar renovation led by Pierre-Yves Rochon Inc. While the hotel is steeped in history, one of its forward-thinking offerings for guests is a courtesy car – a 1962 Fiat 600 Multipla with a new electric engine – for sightseeing across Rome.
Though the St. Regis Rome boasts 23 suites, the most lavish accommodation within the hotel is the Royal Suite, which often hosts celebrities, royalty and heads of state. Tastefully furnished and decorated with artwork and antiques, the Royal Suite is ideal for couples and newlyweds who want the perfect mix of contemporary and classical interiors. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, there is a private wine cellar and kitchen and the marble bathroom includes a large jacuzzi.

Blending effortlessly into the spectacular natural environment around it, Jade Mountain is an extraordinary resort perched on the side of a hill in south-western St. Lucia. Its design, crafted by architect and owner Nick Troubetzkoy, is the embodiment of organic architecture; rugged stone columns reach toward the sky and each suite can only be reached by a private footbridge.
All of the romantic hotel suites within Jade Mountain benefit from the absence of a fourth wall, allowing for uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea and St. Lucia’s Pitons World Heritage Site. However, for the most impressive views of the Piti and Gros Piton Mountains, nothing beats the Galaxy Sanctuary. At 2,000 sq ft, the open-plan space fluidly moves from living space to bedroom with a 900-sq-ft infinity pool taking center stage in the middle of the room. While staying at Jade Mountain, it’s not unusual for guests to never leave their sanctuaries – especially those newlyweds.
