I'd head to The Ritz in Naples (beach Ritz) as it's an easy 2.5 hr flight. The hotel is great and redone post Hurricane Ian 2 years ago. Do dinner in downtown Naples one night. We spent a romantic weekend there last year and it was delightful.

For my birthday we are going to Maude & the Bear in Staunton, staying at the inn and doing the tasting menu. I can't say yet if it's worth it, but it sure looks good! https://maudeandthebear.com/

The new Voltaggio Brothers' hotel and restaurant and hotel in Frederick also looks interesting: https://www.washingtonian.com/2024/12/16/an-old-convent-is-now-a-swanky-boutique-hotel-in-frederick/
