Whether you’re looking for a beach or a party, we’ve got a perfect singles getaway hotel for you. Below you’ll find our favorite picks for Miami, L.A., Las Vegas, and New York City, all of which still have availability for Valentine’s Day weekend.

Hollywood/West Hollywood, Los Angeles

$198/night

DJs spin in the lobby and at the Purple Lounge, and spontaneous pool parties erupt nightly behind this retro-future hotel. It’s a good price for L.A. and is convenient for partying on the Sunset Strip. Read full review.

Off The Strip, Las Vegas

$127/night

This is one of the most unapologetically hedonistic hotels in Vegas, with a concert venue named Joint, and a brand new club called Vanity. The Rehab pool (above) won’t open until April, but the partying goes on all year long. Read full review.

West Village, New York City

$450/night

The Gansevoort may not be the new guy in town any longer, but it’s brand new club Provocateur is putting the hotel back on the map. Plus, it’s in the popular Meatpacking District and is walking distance to the West Village and Chelsea. Read full review.

South Beach, Miami

$281/night

This 55-room crash pad is one block from the beach, in a prime South Beach party location. It’s generally filled with young groups of vacationers desperate for sun, beach, and a few nights of SoBe debauchery. Read full review.

South Beach’s Savoy Hotel is as close as you can get to staying on the sand

Beach scene: Where to strut your stuff and scope out other singles on the sand

$202/night

South Beach, Miami

$312/night

A condo-hotel with privately owned rooms, the Savoy offers huge beachfront suites (some with kitchenettes) and a lively pool scene. Rooms are a bit scruffy, but the South Beach location makes up for it.

Suburban Las Vegas

$127/night

This gorgeous, upscale, lakeside resort is 30 minutes from the hubbub of the Strip, perfect for a warm getaway without clinking slot machines. There are cushy lounge chairs on the sand, a spa, two pools, a fitness center, and a tennis court. Read full review.

Santa Monica and the Beaches, Los Angeles

$334/night

Because there are no beaches in Manhattan, we’ll recommend a second beach hotel in L.A. — a slick and inviting boutique hotel overlooking the Pacific, with a poolside lounge, cabanas, and a new rooftop hotspot. Read full review.

Gramercy and Murray Hill, New York City

$279/night

The Oasis Day Spa at this fitness- and wellness-themed hotel offers massages, skin care, and body treatments. The dark inner sanctum has plenty of candles and soothing music. Read full review.

Downtown, Miami

$207/night

We like that Spa Chakra uses Guerlain products and gives guests a foot bath and massage as they fill out their paperwork. (But if you prefer sexy over pampering and can afford to splurge, the spa at Hotel Victor has a coed, clothing-optional hammam.) Read the full review.

Nobhill Tavern at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino is one of many, many dining options

Wine and dine: Where to catch up with your closest single pals over a nice meal, sans candlelight

Hollywood/West Hollywood, Los Angeles

The Strip, Las Vegas

$197/night

The list of restaurants here is unreal: Joel Robuchon (three Michelin stars), L’Atelier (one Michelin star), Nobhill Tavern, SEABLUE, Craftsteak, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill, and Emeril Lagasse. Or just hit the buffet. Read full review.

Midtown West, New York City

$205/night

We love the upscale comfort food and Hogwarts-like ambiance at Hudson Cafeteria, and the hotel is cheaper than most in NYC. The hotel also has two really cool, unique bars and is steps from upscale dining in Columbus Circle. Read full review.
