Sometimes you need a weekend away to rekindle and reconnect with your significant other! My husband and I try to do at least one weekend a month (day trip included) to prioritize time together. Greenville, SC is on our list to visit, and here's a list of our itinerary when we go!
The Westin Poinsett, Greenville
I've walked by this hotel and it just screams cute and romantic date weekend. It's in the city center with tons of resaturants within walking distance. The vibes are historic charm meets city.

BookCourtyard by Marriott Greenville Downtown
We are a Marriott household through and through and that is most likely always my first choice for points reasons. This one is very walkable, has great reviews, and the rooms are updated and nice! I also love it's right on Reedy River!

BookAloft Greenville Downtown
Another vote for a Marriott. Aloft is usually known for a being a more budget option in the Marriott family.

BookParis Mountain State Park
CLOSED due to Hurricane Helene.
We love everything nature so Paris Mountain State Park is high on the list for a Greenville itinerary. Head over to AllTrails to choose which trails you want to do based on time and difficulty. On our list: Sulphur Springs Trail, Mountain Creek Trail, Brissy Ridge.
See MoreLiberty Bridge
I feel like this is a Greenville, SC right of passage if visiting. It is a beautiful bridge that overlooks the waterfalls in the middle of downtown Greenville. A great photo-op spot or a place to enjoy a morning walk/coffee.
See MoreMethodical Coffee
Speaking of coffee, this is where I'd take my husband when he's asking for an iced coffee with whole milk. I have seen nothing but good reviews for this place and their instagram is filled with delicious treats.
See MoreThe Lazy Goat
A top-rated mediterranean restaurant (our personal weakness)! I've heard the patio seats are the best and the portions are hefty. Their fried goat cheese balls have my name written all over them.
See MoreGather GVL
No need to argue if you and your signficant other are craving differnt things. Gather GVL is a popular and rather large food hall with tons of options. Food halls are quite literally heaven because when I am done indugling in the Hen Dough (chicken and donuts), I am headed straight for my second course at Palmetto Seafood Co.
See MoreSwamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery
Need some grab and go items to hit some trails? This is a great local and healthy spot to stock up. Nothing speaks more to my heart than a healthy grocery store.
See MoreSwamp Rabbit trail
Great views of water. You can also rent bikes to explore these grounds.
See MoreJuniper - Greenville
A rooftop garden bar. Need I say more? This is the perfect aesthetic to get your night started. Head here for happy hour and a cute sunset. You can find me at the bar ordering whatever their seasonal mocktail is (yes they have a full bar)
See MoreBetter Than Sex - A Dessert Restaurant
There's no way to my heart other than a sexy dessert bar, especially if they have some type of s'mores option. Hit this spot up after dinner.
See MoreCarmella's Cafe and Dessert Bar
This is on here mostly for their romanic ambiance of unique firepit lighting and open concept floorplan. This place sells out of their treats regularly and is packed. We've had their apple pie cookie and it was the size of my head. Definitely worth a try if you have a sweet tooth.
