This spring, a romantic getaway can be found everywhere from unexpected cities like Cleveland, Ohio that are stepping up their game to iconic spots like Grand Canyon National Park that also add adventure into the mix. Here are 10 destinations to check out with your partner in crime.  The Gant Hotel in Aspen is a prime spot for a romance-filled escape. Find luxury condominiums with wood-burning fireplaces in rooms and full service kitchens to cook a dinner together. Go for a swim in one of the property's heated outdoor swimming pools or head to the bar for creative cocktails made with flavored ice cubes and infused whip cream. The Gant Hotel is four blocks from the base of Aspen Mountain and is steps away from the Silver Queen Gondola where you can catch the last of spring skiing or a colorful hike post closing day. Plus, there are other 3 nearby mountains that complete the Aspen Snowmass experience: Snowmass, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk, all of which are all world-class mountains that attract skiers and outdoor enthusiasts from across the globe.  Almost blending into the scenery, Red Mountain Resort is the perfect base to explore the red rock cliffs and canyons of Southern Utah. Whether you choose to hike or bike, the nearby parks offer an amazing display of desert animal life, unique botanicals and dynamic rock formations. The Red Mountain Resort offers customized adventures to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and Snow Canyon State Park and places its focus on healthy living, making this the ultimate weekend escape for couples looking for a wellness getaway. The resort's most popular package, Red Mountain Essential, includes three healthy meals daily, guided morning hikes, unlimited fitness classes and cooking demonstrations. The property's Canyon Breeze Restaurant offers outdoor patio seating, meaning your morning breakfast or evening meal will be complete with spectacular views. If you're heading out for the day, they also offer an array of healthy grab-and-go options that can be packed in your backpack.  Not much compares to the stunning views of the Grand Canyon, a natural wonder that lures millions of tourists from all over the world each year but also makes for the perfect romantic escape. Book a suite at El Tovar Hotel, an elegant historic property located right on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The hotel, which has been open since 1905, features a fine dining room, one-of-a-kind charming rooms and plenty of upgraded amenities. As for exploring the canyon, choose your own adventure: Ride a mule along the rim or hike along South Kaibab. Head to Oh Ah Point (0.9 miles down the trail) or continue on to Skeleton Point (3 miles down) for a 6-mile round trip hike. For one of the most breathtaking views, head to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass bridge suspended 400 feet over the canyon near the Colorado River.  For a getaway that combines adventure with a city break, San Diego offers the best of both worlds. Stay at the Tower 23 Hotel, a boutique property located right on the beach and within walking distance to nightlife. The hotel invites guests to enjoy the sunset on its Tower Deck, where you can order a glass of wine or a martini and kick back on one of the lounge chairs or beds. By day, rent cruisers and spend the day biking around town and watching the local kids skateboard. When it's time to get into the water, there's no better way to explore the coastline than by kayak. Rent a couple from Everyday California, and keep your eyes peeled for marine life during your adventure. Kayakers have been known to spot sea lions, Garibaldi fish, leopard sharks (don't worry, they're harmless), dolphins and even whales on occasion.  Mendocino is a romantic destination that offers a relaxing getaway experience complete with gourmet meals, wine tastings and outdoor adventure. Book a room at the Brewery Gulch Inn, a contemporary property that sits perched atop a windswept bluff-top overlooking the rugged coast. Tour the beautiful Anderson Valley wine country with its mountain views, or take a short drive to the North Coast where the scenery is breathtaking and there are plenty of quaint shops and galleries to wander through. Don't miss a detour to The Madrones, a private estate inspired by the Italian Agriturismo concept of staying on a working farm or winery. The onsite intimate restaurant, Stone and Embers, is centered around a wood fired oven and a daily changing menu inspired by the seasons.  With its bustling River Walk, fascinating history and up-and-coming foodie scene, San Antonio is a vibrant destination for a weekend getaway. Stay at the JW Marriott San Antonio, which has a massive water park with a lazy river, on site dining and tequila tastings at Cibolo Moon and a well-reviewed spa. Spend an afternoon attending a glassblowing demonstration at Garcia Art Glass, where artist Gini Garcia creations one-of-a-kind glass lighting and sculpture. By night, stroll leisurely along the River Walk which has everything from boutique hotels to restaurants and shops.  The Winter Park Chateau in Winter Park, Colo., is a three story Victorian mansion turned Bed & Breakfast. You can't help but relax at the rooftop hot tub that overlooks the sparkling lights of the city and has straight shot views of the Continental Divide. Plus, you are only two miles from Winter Park Resort, which is ranked as one of the top three places to ski for all mountain terrain and also features one of the best ranked terrain parks in the nation. For extreme terrain and stashes of fresh powder that can be found all day, you don't want to miss Mary Jane. Post-spring slopes at Winter Park offer some of the best mountain biking for an adventurous day with your partner in crime.  Perched high above rolling vineyards and just a short drive from Portland, the Black Walnut Inn is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway any time of year. Reminiscent of a European villa, the family-owned and operated winery/bed and breakfast welcomes visitors with Pinot noirs handcrafted from estate grapes, gourmet breakfasts fresh from their garden and breathtaking views of the coastal valley and Mt. Hood. From its prime Willamette Valley location, guests can tour over 100 local wineries by car, limo and pedal power. Or sip from the saddle with a day of tastings by Equestrian Wine Tours. Savor your getaway with a picnic-to-go from the Red Hills Market, or sample farm to table, seasonal menus and local wine pairings at nearby eateries such as The Joel Palmer House Restaurant.  Not typically known as a city for a romantic getaway, Cleveland is a surprisingly cosmopolitan destination with a world-class orchestra, stunning art museum and revitalized neighborhoods. Stay at the Westin Cleveland Downtown, a hotel that focuses on local art and recently became one of the most sophisticated Cleveland accommodation options thanks to a major transformation. More than 1,500 pieces from local artists are displayed inside, including everything from sculptures to glass. While in town, art enthusiasts shouldn't forget to also check out Red Space, an underground art gallery that is open to the public with new exhibits every six to eight weeks. When you're hungry after all that exploring, head to Town Hall in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood. The popular lunch and brunch spot serves a full menu of organic food along with harder to find items like Bullet Proof Coffee. At night, the restaurant morphs into a bar serving 36 American beers on tap.  If your other half is an art enthusiast, whisk them off to Taos and book a room at Palacio de Marquesa, an upscale inn offering seasonal artist workshops and cooking classes in its communal living room. Enjoy a gourmet breakfast served to your room before exploring the town's more than 80 art galleries or hitting the slopes at Angel Fire Resort. Just a short drive away, Angel Fire offers some of the best views of the Southern Rockies at over 8,600 feet high. Palacio de Marquesa itself is only five blocks from the historic plaza of Taos where you can find several restaurants, boutiques and of course art galleries with southwestern art.
