The Newbury Boston: Boston, Massachusetts

East Coast fireplace lovers, you’re in luck. The Newbury Boston just recently launched a new Fireplace Suite Experience featuring a wood-burning stove, hearth-side wood menu (choose from quick-burning and warming birch; long-burning and fragrant cherry; lightly scented oak; or sweet, quintessentially New England maple), and a curated selection of snacks and cocktails. Accommodations also come complete with king-size beds, walk-in rainforest showers, Byredo bath amenities, and, best of all, a fireplace butler to tend to your chimney and ensure that the drinks keep flowing. Reserve a table at Contessa, the on-site rooftop eatery, to satisfy your hunger before an evening fireside sprawl.

ROMEO Hotel: Naples, Italy

Although Naples is generally synonymous with summer travel, journeying during the off-season is one of the most idyllic times to visit. What's more, of ROMEO’s 79 rooms and suites, three of the hotel’s best feature private fireplaces: the Wellness Room, the Penthouse Suite, and the Two-Bedroom Suite with Zen Garden. In addition to private hearths, guests can enjoy all-day dining at Beluga and over 1,000 Italian labels at The Wine Experience. The 10,000-square-foot spa, which offers Turkish baths, a Finnish sauna, and a salt room, is especially noteworthy. ROMEO also has a heated rooftop pool with a bar, which is the perfect place to take in serene views of the surrounding coastline.

The Greenwich Hotel: New York, New York

We know what you’re thinking: functioning in-room fireplaces in New York City? Shockingly, a number of Big Apple-based hotels offer this amazing amenity, though few hold a candle to The Greenwich Hotel. Located in the trendy TriBeCa neighborhood, this 88-room hotel offers five unique options for private fireplaces — two corner suites and three penthouses, to be exact. These top-tier rooms also offer Savoir beds and outdoor spaces laden with greenery.

Las Palomas Inn: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Sure, New Mexico may not be the first ski-focused destination to come to mind, but the slopes of Sangre de Cristo Mountain are regularly blanketed in white during the winter months. And, after spending the day outdoors, Las Palomas Inn is the perfect place to warm up. This pet-friendly boutique property, which is conveniently located in downtown Santa Fe, offers southwest-inspired decor and, in select rooms, wood or gas-burning fireplaces. Snuggling up next to the fireplace with your pup? It doesn’t get any better than that.

The Balmoral: Edinburgh, Scotland

Despite the frigid temperatures, one of the most charming times of year to visit the UK is the winter — and with an in-room fireplace, warming up from a day of exploring has never been easier. The Balmoral, a 120-year-old property in Edinburgh, offers easy access to the city’s best bars and restaurants, though with rooms this sumptuous, you’ll hardly be tempted to leave. Consider booking the 2,000-plus-square-foot Scone & Crombie Suite, which offers an in-room fireplace, lavish furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views of Edinburgh's Old Town. No stay here is complete without savoring some afternoon tea, exploring the top-notch wellness facilities, and indulging in an impressive selection of over 500 Scottish whiskies

The Lowell: New York, New York

Ever fantasized about having your very own Upper East Side townhouse? Live out your New York City dreams at The Lowell, which is just steps from Central Park. Comprising a row of quaint townhouses, 33 of the 74 rooms and suites here are equipped with wood-burning fireplaces — and there's even an on-site fireplace concierge on hand to manage the flame. We recommend booking the Warmth & Wine package, in which a fireplace butler will arrive at your doorstep with a bundle of wood and hand-light your fireplace complete with a selection of aromas (such as lavender or rosemary),  a bottle of wine, daily breakfast for two, and a welcome beverage. Consider leaving your room for afternoon tea service in the Pembroke Room, which is simply not to be missed: especially for fans of fresh seafood and caviar.
