Galentine's

Valentine’s day isn’t just for couples. This year take a trip with your closest gal pals for a Galentine’s getaway that doesn’t break the bank. Whether you want to relax on the beach or have a crazy night out in the city, there’s a destination—and hotel, that will make everyone in your group happy!

Choosing the perfect place to stay is essential for a successful Galentine’s getaway, so to help make the planning process as seamless as possible, we’ve picked out our favorite choices (all under $350) in the top ten destinations for Valentine’s Day this year, according to data from trivago.

Las Vegas

Caesar’s Palace — Less than $100 for one room with king bed

With a dramatic Roman theme, Caesar’s Palace is one of the most iconic resorts in Las Vegas. It’s also one of the largest with five towers of hotel rooms.

You and your girl gang are just steps away from the hotel’s Garden of the Gods pool deck, which includes swim-up bars and Venus – a private adults-only enclave with night-swim events.

The mid-Strip location makes it easy to explore top Vegas attractions like the Bellagio and LINQ promenade. Stay on the property and eat dinner at one of two restaurants by Gordon Ramsay or at the intimate Chef’s Table inside Restaurant Guy Savoy, one of the top French fine dining destinations in the country.

Orlando

Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort — Less than $200 for one room with two queen beds

Cabana Bay Beach Resort is an ode to the oldies with groovy guest room artwork from the ‘60s, rounded ’50s-esque retro architecture, and more.

As an added bonus, the resort is within a mile of Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park as well as Universal CityWalk. You can’t beat it! Complimentary transportation and early admission to select parks are also included in the price of your stay, so it’s perfect for a girl group looking to get the most bang for their buck!

If you and your gals aren’t seeking roller coaster thrills, the resort also has two zero-entry pools: one with a lazy river and one with a beach, water slide, 10-lane bowling alley and fitness center as well as a game room, all on-site.

New York

The Marlton — Less than $300 for one room with double bed

Ah, the big city! From endless shopping to a never-ending list of museums, bars and restaurants, New York is the perfect place for a Galentine’s getaway. Trendy and cozy, the Marlton is a boutique hotel in the heart of Greenwich Village – nearby to great Galentine’s dinner spots and bars.

If you prefer a night in, a standout feature of the Marlton is the onsite restaurant, Margaux. (Get the Squid Ink Bucatini and send us your thank you cards later.)

Paris

Hotel Astotel – Le 123 Sebastopol — Less than $300 for one room with two twins beds

With the Louvre nearby, and just five minutes away from superb shopping at Les Halles, Le 123 Sebastopol couldn’t be better located for an art-and-design-driven Galentine’s trip.

The décor of the hotel is inspired by cinema; you will see lightboxes and illuminated letters that transport you straight to the bright lights of Hollywood. The cinema-style seating at the breakfast room in particular is a wonderfully quirky feature. And the theme continues throughout the rooms, with each one being centered around a specific blockbuster film. Our favorite amenity by far is the cinema room, which offers private viewings to top off your cinematic trip to Paris. 

London

The Bermondsey Square Hotel — Less than $200 for one room with double bed

Located in Southwark, Bermondsey Square is the perfect spot for gals looking to enjoy walks along the South Bank with easy access to the center of town. You’ll find comfortable rooms with modern amenities and a relaxed lounge and restaurant downstairs, perfect for a casual drink or a tasty meal from the British-inspired all-day menu.

For an exclusive in-room hot-tub experience, book the Lucy in the Sky room to have access to your own private rooftop hot tub large enough to fit six people. Enjoy taking in the city views whilst staying cozy and warm surrounded by bubbles! The suite also includes a spacious living area, king-size bed, Grohe drench super shower, bathtub and toiletries by the White Company.
