Valentine’s Day in NOLA: 7 Luxurious Ways to Spoil Your Love

Romantic Escapade: Our Unforgettable Valentine’s Day in Enchanting New Orleans

Happy Valentine’s Day, my fellow romantics! My sweetheart and I had an absolute blast celebrating this special day in none other than the enchanting city of New Orleans. With its captivating architecture and captivating history, the Big Easy truly embodies the essence of charm and allure, making it the perfect destination for lovebirds like us. We seized every moment, revisiting our favorite spots and discovering new ones along the way, ensuring that this Valentine’s Day would be one for the books. Here’s a glimpse into our memorable Valentine’s Day in Nola: 7 luxurious ways to spoil your love.

Blissful Relaxation:

Our day kicked off with a touch of pure bliss at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans spa, where we treated ourselves to an indulgent 80-minute couple’s massage. It was absolute heaven and set the perfect tone for the day ahead.

Not Just Sightseeing:

Vue-seeing! As locals of NOLA, Vue Orleans was at the top of our list for its breathtaking views from 360° indoor and outdoor observation decks. Back in the day, the Top of the Mart used to serve New Orleanians with tantalizing beverages while giving them an exhilarating spin above the city. Fast forward to the present, Vue Orleans has emerged as a sensational remix of its former self, flaunting those same breathtaking views that will leave you spellbound.

Strolling Through the Streets:

Embracing our inner tourists, we decided to leave our car behind and explore the city on foot. Hand in hand, we meandered through the picturesque streets, savoring the lush greenery of Audubon Park and soaking up the romantic ambiance.

Stylish Accommodations:

Our ultimate staycation experience awaited us at the chic Virgin Hotel Nola, where we checked into our Chamber King room. The ambiance perfectly matched the Valentine’s Day theme, adding an extra touch of romance to our getaway.

Discovering Our Hometown:

We embarked on a romantic tour of the French Quarter, immersing ourselves once again in the glorious history and vibrant culture of this iconic neighborhood. For us, hearing about the city’s heritage never grows old, and it only deepens our love for New Orleans.

A Feast for the Senses:

When dinnertime arrived, we headed to Marjie’s Grill, one of my love’s all-time favorite restaurants in NOLA. Remarkably, with each visit, they manage to surpass our expectations. This time was no exception—their culinary delights took our taste buds on a delectable journey.

The Perfect Nightcap:

To conclude our extraordinary day on a high note, I savored delightful cocktails at the Pool Club Nola (my husbae isn’t much of a drinker). It was the ideal way to bask in the afterglow of a perfect Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day in New Orleans is truly a romantic experience like no other. From intimate dining experiences to rejuvenating spa indulgences and awe-inspiring rooftop views, the city offers something to suit every couple’s taste. I hope you enjoyed the 7 ways to spoil your love! How did you spend your Valentine’s Day? We would absolutely love to hear about your own romantic adventures.
