While the moniker “City of Love” belongs to Paris, many can argue that New York is just as romantic and magical. If you’re someone like me who grew up watching 13 Going on 30 or Enchanted, you will agree that the Big Apple is truly dreamy and idyllic. From strolling in Central Park while humming “That’s How You Know” (from the movie Enchanted) to exploring Fifth Avenue a la Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes (from Maid in Manhattan), the number of must-try activities and must-see places you can do in New York is endless. You can also take pictures at the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, where Miranda Hobbs and Steve Brady rekindled their love in Sex and the City.
Besides attractions, accommodations in the Big Apple are just as special. If you want to level up your stay, check out this list of the best romantic Airbnbs in New York, New York.

1. Cozy haven with a spa bath (from USD 277)
If I were to count all the things I love about this Airbnb on both hands, I’d still run out of fingers. From the vibrant colors that add an exotic ambiance to the high ceilings, this Airbnb is curated to appeal to the young and energetic. The California king bed ensures enough space for your and your partner’s evening (and morning) cuddles. As soon as you step into the marble-accentuated bathroom, you will be greeted by the heart-shaped spa bath that will crank up the romance meter.
You’ll love the cozy eating area outside the suite, where you and your partner can relax and chat away. Don’t forget to bring a bottle or two of your favorite beverage, as champagne glasses are ready for that celebratory drink.
2. Beautiful condo with a backyard (from USD 384)
I love how clean and organized this condo is. If you’re a meticulous couple, you will appreciate the sleek wooden floors, stainless steel appliances, and indoor plants that bring life into the house. For bonding, you may prepare the perfect romantic meal in the fully stocked kitchen with your lover and enjoy it in the alfresco dining area. I also appreciate the barbeque equipment, as it gives couples the option to enjoy the sunshine as well as each other’s company.
The backyard also features a fire pit, which delights couples. On top of that, the hot tub will invite you to a relaxing bath with your lover under the starry skies.
Since this condo is located close to dining and entertainment options, you’ll have no trouble planning fun dates.
3. Luxurious penthouse suite (from USD 464)
Thanks to this accommodation’s central location and elevated setting, you and your lover will be near must-see Big Apple destinations and ensure magical Manhattan skyline views. What I love about this place is its pet-friendliness, as I know plenty of couples nowadays enjoy the company of their fur babies. While staying here, you can enjoy a hot tub by the window, which looks out to the New York waterscape, providing the perfect backdrop to conversations and laughter with your partner.
Should you need to host a special event to celebrate your love, you’ll have easy access to an event space in the building.

For me, this penthouse suite is the epitome of a dreamy NYC vacation. It is modern yet homey, thanks to the abundance of natural light, ornamental plants, and outdoor seating, which offers the perfect spot for sunset and sunrise viewing for couples. Plus, thanks to the chef’s kitchen at your disposal, you will feel enticed to prepare your partner’s favorite comfort meal.
Since this accommodation is nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, you are within arm’s reach of must-try restaurants and must-see tourist destinations, which you can visit on date nights.
