Pucker up: Five great spots to kiss on Valentine's Day
Looking for a great spot to lock lips this Valentine's Day? Check out these five hotels and resorts, all among Oyster's favorite places for a romantic getaway.
The Kissing Point at the Kahala Hotel and Reosrt
The Spot: The Kissing Point The Hotel: Kahala Hotel and Resort Location: Oahu, Hawaii Price: $467/night
The Kahala is the only luxury resort in a quiet setting on Oahu; its small but lovely stretch of sand is much less crowded than the chaotic Waikiki Beach, and this land jetty -- called the Kissing Point, for obvious reasons -- overlooks calm, blue sea.
The Private Roof Club and Garden at the Gramercy Park Hotel
The Spot: Private Roof Club and Garden The Hotel: Gramercy Park Hotel Location: Gramercy and Murray Hill, New York City Price: $398/night
The strings of lights and crawling green vines at the Gramercy Hotel's glassed-in Private Roof Club make it feel like you've entered a fairyland after dark. Reserve a table for a late dinner or drinks at this posh spot, and you might even enjoy your kiss in relative privacy -- until the weather gets warm, the Rose Bar downstairs is the more happening place to be.
Beach Gazebo at Half Moon
The Spot: The Beach Gazebo The Hotel: Half Moon Location: Montego Bay, Jamaica Price: $522/nt
The beach gazebo, at the end of a promenade over the warm, clear water at Half Moon, is a popular setting for weddings -- but if you're not ready to say "I do," you can start with a kiss at sunset.
POV at the W Hotel Washington D.C.
The Spot: POV Roof Terrace and Lounge The Hotel: W Washington D.C. Location: Downtown, Washington, D.C. Price: $321/nt
Since its opening last year, this bar has quickly become one of the hottest party spots in D.C. -- but its swanky atmosphere and amazing views of the White House and Washington Monument make it a fine place for a smooch.
Ocean-view fire pit at the Terranea Resort
The Spot: Ocean-view fire pit The Hotel: Terranea Resort Location: Santa Monica and the Beaches, Los Angeles Price: $404/nt
This cozy fire pit by the sea is the perfect place to steal a kiss. The beautiful, sprawling grounds at this luxury megaresort offer a number of other romantic lookouts if you'd rather find somewhere completely private.
