Where was Office Romance shot? A look inside the filming locations of the movie

Essentially set in an office, Netflix's Office Romance isn't all about the chemistry and love that happens between Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein’s characters, it's also about the stunning filming locations. The movie's setting spans from typical corporate surroundings, to opulent residences in the New Jersey suburbs, to the tropical island in the Caribbean.

The background shifts between the glitter of the boardroom and the allure of the tropics, as airline CEO Jackie Cruz and company lawyer Daniel Blanchflower struggle to deal with the office politics and the emerging emotions. The real-world settings lend Office Romance some charm, scale, and lots of rom-com magic, ranging from Air Cruz headquarters to Jackie's extravagant house to the dreamy Dominican Republic getaway.

Hoboken brings the big-city energy in Office Romance

Although Office Romance is set in the style of a typical New York rom-com, a good portion of the film was actually filmed in Hoboken. The city is situated across the Hudson River from New York City and has an impressive skyline.

Some scenes with Jackie and Daniel were shot along Hoboken's waterfront, which looks great for the key character moments that aren't in the office. The modern streets and the business-like architecture also assist in building up a believable corporate background for the airline-driven story. Hoboken's cozy waterfront and urban vibe accentuate the movie's light and modern romance vibe.

New Jersey takes center stage

Office Romance is a title that suggests an office setting, but it's definitely doing more than that by utilizing several locations throughout New Jersey. Kenilworth played host to many of the workplace scenes, and was the hub of the science and technology complex, which eventually served as the headquarters of Air Cruz. Jackie and Daniel fought professional battles there.

The movie also lets viewers peek into the CEO's personal life, via Jackie's lavish home in Montclair. She has several pivotal moments in her relationships there. The versatility of New Jersey as a film location is underscored by the addition of more NJ restaurants and streets that contribute to the lived-in feel.

The Dominican Republic delivers the dreamiest moments

Any good romance must have a dream destination, and that's the Dominican Republic for Office Romance. The later half of the movie was filmed in the Samaná Province, where the turquoise waters and tropical landscape, especially of the luxurious Cayo Levantado Resort, replace the corporate environments of the earlier parts of the film.

The move is a symbolic indication of Jackie and Daniel's emotional journey. In the absence of the stress of work, they are finally forced to deal with the emotions they've been trying to ignore throughout the movie. The gorgeous Caribbean setting enhances the romance and provides some of the most beautiful scenes in the film, making the end of the movie a visually perfect getaway you'll be enviously planning to travel to.
