Looking for something special to mark Valentine’s Day this year? Then treat your partner to a New York mini-break and relive some of the most romantic moments from the movies, with a stay at a Times Square hotel.

Take in the views from the Empire State Building as Sam and Annie did in Sleepless in Seattle, go for Breakfast at Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue, or take a couple’s walk through Central Park in the style of When Harry Met Sally.

The Hotel @ Times Square is conveniently located within a few blocks of all these key attractions, and offers guests a complimentary continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi internet access and a gym.

For holidaying romantics, The Hotel has laid on a Roses and Rosé package, which runs throughout February. Book a Queen bed room from $205 (£132) per night and get a free bottle of rosé and a dozen red roses.
