I’m not big on Valentine’s Day, BUT I am big on getting away for a night or two with my hubby, especially in the middle of a long, cold, miserable Minnesota winter.

And honestly, you don’t need a holiday to justify it. A change of scenery, a cozy room, and a place that makes you slow down a bit - just what the doctor ordered for those winter blues.

Sign me up for cozying up by the fireplace, soaking in the views, and just relaxing during those peaceful mornings. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for an excuse to escape normal life, these are some of the most romantic hotels in Minnesota, according to TripAdvisor.

#10. Canal Park Lodge in Duluth

This is a beautiful Hotel on Lake Superior. Reserve a Lakeside room, well worth it. There is a very romantic horse drawn buggy ride that takes you through Canal Park and along the boardwalk. The shops and restaurants all are within walking distance and the boardwalk is beautiful at night. - Gracee40 Trip Advisor Reviews

#9. St. James Hotel in Red Wing

Stayed at The Foundry at the St. James for our 25th wedding anniversary. I couldn't recommend it more highly if I tried. If you want a romantic getaway, this is the spot. Trust me you won't regret it. - Shanangan4 on Trip Advisor Reviews

#8. Larsmont Cottages on Lake Superior

The lake side suite was very nice and romantic with the fireplace, and jetted tub. We enjoyed the sauna, hot tub and views of Lake Superior. The onsite restaurant and bar were excellent as well! We loved the location as it was close to Duluth and Two Harbors for added hiking and breweries/restaurants. - markleyajohnson on Trip Advisor Reviews

#7. Grand View Lodge in Nisswa

Cabin 130 - on the lake, beautiful inside with a king size bed, Jacuzzi tub, and 3 sided fireplace. It was beyond romantic for us. Warm, inviting, clean inside and out, and so quiet and peaceful! - Michelle D on Trip Advisor Reviews

#6. Park Point Marina Inn in Duluth

I absolutely loved this place, had a very private room with my husband, perfect for our weekend get away. Very spacious, nice bathroom and romantic view. Loved the fireplace too :) very satisfied. Nice view and it's cool that it has an indoor pool :) - Anais on Trip Advisor Reviews.

#5. Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis

Hewing Hotel came up as a top romantic getaway for the twin cities and it lived up to the hype. It’s a beautiful hotel with great and thoughtful details everywhere you look. From the rooftop to the unique rooms to the great location in downtown it was just an overall fantastic stay. - drjoshtillman on Trip Advisor Reviews

#4. Fitger's Inn in Duluth

EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL. My boyfriend and I wanted a nice room for a romantic getaway and we splurged on a room with a jacuzzi tub. Everything about our experience was perfect. We would come back again and again and again. - Samanthapscott on Travel Advisor Reviews

#3. Hotel Ivy in Minneapolis

Visited this property for a romantic birthday weekend. The room was beautiful, the view was panoramic (ask for a higher floor if available) and the details were perfection. Centrally located in downtown Minneapolis, it was an easy walk to restaurants and bars and theaters. When we checked out of the hotel we felt refreshed and pampered and feeling like we truly had a mini vacation! Highly recommended! - LL on Trip Advisor Reviews

#2. The Saint Paul Hotel

Our stay was wonderful. Perfect location and property for our romantic getaway weekend. The hotel has great character, beauty and charm. Many amenities for guests. Staff of concierge service and valet parking were gracious. - 6o8tfuicm5 on Trip Advisor Reviews

#1. South Pier Inn in Duluth

The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to the canal and the iconic aerial bridge. Our suite was exceptional, featuring a hot tub, fireplace, and a balcony with stunning sunset views. Thoughtful extras like binoculars, a robe, and an umbrella added a special touch. It was a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it. While just off the main road, it's an easy walk to Canal Park. Highly recommend this inn for a romantic getaway! - Go22850970480 on Trip Advisor Reviews
