Where: Mirbeau Inn & Spa in Rhinebeck, New York
This impressionistic Hudson Valley gem boasts an exquisite lobby, spacious guestrooms, and plush spa treatment rooms where you’ll be pampered from head to toe. Old World service and amenities replicate the glamour and grace of a chic Parisian hotel from another era. Each room has a cozy fireplace for chilly March nights—and some have Juliet balconies for stargazing. Bikes and daily fitness classes are complimentary. For couples, a popular spa treatment is the Art of Living, which includes a custom aromatic bath for two in a soaking tub, champagne, chocolate-covered fruits and bonbons, an exfoliating back scrub, and a fireside oil massage. The cuisine at the refined-casual Willow at Mirbeau is inspired by the bistros of France.
