The Heart Bandits Romance Tip of the Week is to get away for Valentine’s Day!  Make this Valentine’s Day a memorable one by going on a romantic weekend getaway to a nearby city. The United States has so many great cities for weekend vacations. No matter where you live, an enjoyable mini-vacation is never more than a few hours away.

Below are the Top Five Cities to consider for a quick Valentine’s Day Retreat:

New York, New York

This is the perfect time to visit NYC, because it’s the low season for tourism. Hotel rates are cheap and rooms are abundant. Not to mention, tickets are available for many shows. One great hotel that is now offering amazing room rates is the Affinia Shelburne. Right now, they are offering the “Kiss and Tell Romance Package” which includes a one bedroom deluxe suite and a sweet treat and champagne turndown service for only $299.00 per night. Situated close to Park Avenue and the Empire State Building, this hotel is located near many great NYC attractions, restaurants and shops.

St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis is a beautiful city that is often overlooked by travelers. Its strategic location in the Midwest makes it a great road trip destination, and its mild winter temperatures are great for a Valentine’s Day weekend getaway for folks who live nearby. For a great hotel deal, take a look at The Westin St. Louis. You can now book and prepay for a room for only $95.00 per night. To guarantee a spot, book your couple’s massage at the hotel’s spa before arrival.

San Antonio, Texas

Valentine’s Day in San Antonio feels like spring. Enjoy the warmth of the weather and the culture by staying on the historic Riverwalk and taking in all the local attractions and cuisine. One beautiful hotel located on the Riverwalk is the Hotel Contessa where you can now book a Luxury Riverview King Suite for only $245.70 per night. In addition to great room rates, the Hotel Contessa is also currently offering Valentine’s Day room add-ons like a rose petal turndown, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne.

Las Vegas, Nevada

If you and your honey are looking for a fun-filled Valentine’s Day, Las Vegas is where it’s at. Right now, the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is booking their Deluxe Room for only $360.00 per night, and when you stay two nights, you get a $65 dining credit.

Charleston, South Carolina

Quite possibly the most romantic city in the South, Charleston is a wonderful getaway for lovers. February weather is mild, so you can still enjoy a long walk along the city’s shoreline and shop the many unique stores on King Street. For hotel accommodations, check out the Francis Marion Hotel which is located in the heart of the city. The “Heart of Charleston Romance” package is now being offered and includes free valet parking and fine chocolates and champagne upon arrival from only $189.00 per night.
