America's Most Romantic Cities


Perhaps there was a time when you would have cringed at the thought of leaving your passport at home (along with visions of eight-course candle-lit dinners or Dom Perignon-infused cruises down the Seine) for your next romantic trip with your sweetheart. But Travel + Leisure makes the idea of rekindling romance on domestic soil seem chic again (and perhaps not so over-the-top).

The magazine’s 2010 America’s Favorite Cities Survey—first released in February and profiled yesterday on Yahoo! Travel—compiles readers’ opinions on which cities are the most ideal for a romantic escape.

So, maybe you won’t always have Paris. But what about San Francisco, San Diego or Las Vegas? You’ll find a romantic, luxurious and ultra private fractional hideaway from The Élan Collection in each of these fabulous cities.

  1. San Francisco – Picnicking at Golden Gate Park by day. Dining by candlelight at Hubert Keller’s Fleur de Lys by night. After love is all said and done, retreat to Alta Collina with its spacious outdoor terrace to enjoy romantic views of the bay and Coit Tower.
  1. San Diego – Spend a relaxing day with your honey, frolicking in the sun on Coronado Island, then treat your senses to a night at the San Diego Symphony. And what romantic getaway wouldn’t be complete without a luxurious master suite with a private terrace for enjoying romantic harbor sunsets?
  1. Las Vegas – The city is known for sin, but it’s also a place for igniting passion. Why couldn’t you have your own “What Happens at Élan …” moment at Turnberry Place, where you’d have your own private outdoor pool and spa?

Are any of these destinations at the top of your "most romantic cities" list? Where do you go for a decadent romantic escape?
