Love, Actually: A Month of Romance at The Newbury

Love is having a moment on Newbury Street. February in Boston is that ineffable month when the city feels a little softer—anchored, of course, by February 14th, with its red roses, heart-shaped everything, love notes, and chocolates. But there are 28 days of romance to be had: sparkling amorous moments that look even better through rose-colored glasses.

Love, after all, is never just one thing. It’s a quiet escape for a long-time couple, a blissful girls’ weekend, a multi-generational tea where everyone’s dressed up in red and pink, and sacred solo hours when you close the door, turn off your phone, and remember how to be wonderfully loving to yourself. 

At The Newbury, all those loves have an address this February— from a Valentine's Day tea at The Street Bar filled with house-made pastries and vibrant petals to an amorous getaway you’ll be reminiscing about for years to come. 

Romantic Love

Valentine’s Package with Fireplace Suite

Some gifts arrive in boxes, but we think the best ones arrive in the form of a cupid-approved getaway. 

Slip away to The Newbury for our Valentine’s Package or any time during the month of February for a love story in itself. You’ll be welcomed with chilled Champagne and a Winston Flowers arrangement and your Fireplace Suite will set the scene for your own private rom-com. In between all the lingering and luxuriating, wander hand in hand through Back Bay’s Victorian brownstones, the Boston Public Garden, and let your strolling “accidentally” lead you to Tiffany’s Boston flagship, Burberry, Chanel, and Hermès, because some Valentine’s surprises are best chosen in real time. 

Savor a la dolce vita-inspired fine dining experience at Contessa, our modern glass top restaurant designed by Ken Fulk serving delectable Italian dishes like Fettucini Bolognese, Veal Milanese, and Spicy Lobster Cappellini. Afterward retreat to The Library, where cocktails are best enjoyed fireside. Think pink with our Pink Flamingo made with Roku Japanese Gin, Maraschino, Vanilla-Habañero, Lemon, Peychaud’s or keep it classic with a Champagne Cocktail crafted with Domaine Carneros Brut, Comptoir Du Sud Sucre, Angostura Orange, Buddha’s Hand. 

End the night back in your suite in cozy slippers and robes, where the only plans left are to be together, with the fire, the city of Boston outside, and no alarm set for the morning.

Friendship & Galentines

Cocktails. Shopping. Fun!

There’s a type of bliss that exists only when you’re in a hotel room with your closest friends, wearing sheet masks, ordering room service, and laughing at the same stories you’ve told for ten years. It’s called Galentine’s goals at The Newbury. Turn this February into a celebration of friendship and plot the day with activities like wandering Beacon Hill and the Beacon Hill Bookstore to pick out the novels you’ll enjoy later by the fireplace, long lunches with cocktails flowing, and at night wrapping yourselves in robes, Galentine’s games, and toast to the people who know all your romantic misadventures—and love you more for them.  

Family Love

Valentine’s Day Tea

Family love—there’s nothing better. This Valentine’s Day, gather at The Street Bar to slow down, dress up, and celebrate the people who feel like home. Enjoy an afternoon of tea sandwiches, delicate pastries, and fine teas, served on our exclusive Make Way for Ducklings tea set—bringing a touch of Boston storybook charm to every Valentine’s moment.

Self-Love

A Solo Stay, Completely Devoted To You

For the ones that need some alone time, there's no better luxury than closing the door of a hotel room and realizing the next 24 hours are just for you. Book a solo stay at The Newbury for a weekend of unapologetic indulgence. Beginning with a morning lingering over room service in bed, then gently moving your body at a Boston Body Pilates reformer class to lengthen and wake up your body. Afterward, curate your own wellness adventure at Remedy Place: saunas, ice baths, vitamin IV therapy, NAD+, and hyperbaric oxygen—a love letter to your future self. 

Claim a seat by the fireplace in The Library with the book you’ve been “meaning to read” for the last few months. When evening falls, order your dream room service order, queue up your favorite rom-com, and savor the pleasure of not having to share the remote, or dessert.

Love is in the air, in every form it takes. And at The Newbury, there’s room for it all.
