It is not exactly surprising that we put a hotel under the umbrella of romantic things to do. Turndown service, plush linens and a room that has a bed as a centrepiece are surefire ways to keep things spicy. However, we included this hotel because of the sublime rooftop lounge. A day spent by the pool (which during the summer can be from 7am to 7pm) is a day well spent, provided that you bring enough sunblock and remember that early cocktails need to be paced. The view from this hotel of the city is grandiose, sweeping from skyscraper to skyscraper. Of course, you and your sweetie get to look down on it all. How sweet it is to be in love.
