Autumn is a big season for hotels, especially those that represent the winds of change. In New York City, Standard International debuts its latest hotel concept, The Manner—which feels less like the hedonistic Standards of yore, and more like any of the city’s growing number of fabulous private-members clubs. Across the country in California, a beloved Laguna Beach icon enters an exciting new chapter. Salt Lake City is finally getting a new lifestyle hotel—just in time for another ski season. And the country’s first ultra-sustainable, “carbon positive” hotel opens its doors in Denver to set an example for hotels everywhere. There’s a lot happening, and a lot to explore—where will you go first? These are the most exciting new hotel openings of fall 2024.
Where it’s located: Most of Laguna Beach’s other hotels are located away from downtown, but Casa Loma stands just a five minute walk from the heart of the action. It’s right on Main Beach’s dramatic coastline, in the former premises of the Inn at Laguna Beach.
Why we’re excited: This beautifully reimagined property is both an homage to the area’s bohemian history, and a beautiful representation of its modern moment. If it weren’t for the rooms’ fantastic views of the nearby cliffs and Pacific Ocean, you might just miss the finer details, like custom bathrobes from Guatemala-based Luna Zorro, D.S. & Durga toiletries, and Tivoli Model One Radios with the hotel’s own custom curated radio station. There isn’t a bad room in the house—but if you can, opt for the ones that offer private balconies, that way you can luxuriate in the salt air and watch a quintessential SoCal sunset from the comfort of your room.
Where it’s located: Standard International has been a lodestar of the lifestyle hotel movement since opening its first property in West Hollywood in 1999. Now, with the debut of this new boutique concept in the former Sixty Soho building on Thompson Street, it’s set to make waves once again.
Why we’re excited: The overall ethos is one of sophistication and privacy, and feels more like a members club, or maybe your most fabulous friend’s Soho home. There are four F&B concepts throughout the premises, all overseen by chef Alex Stupak of Empellón. The first two—The Otter, a seafood-driven restaurant, as well as Sloane’s, an intimate cocktail bar—will be open to the public, and the other two are reserved just for guests: The Apartment, where breakfast and aperitivi will be served, and The Rooftop, coming in 2025. Rooms come draped in a warm, energetic palette of golds and reds, and there are many luxe details to love, like Costa Brazil bath amenities and custom furniture integrated with DAMPF audio systems. The one thing these rooms don’t have? Televisions.

There’s a refreshing fluidity and freeness to the best wine bars of New York City, which can appear in many forms—a sleek power-lunch hotspot, a cozy bar on the Lower East Side, or a tranquil backyard in Brooklyn. “To me, a wine bar serves limited food and is more focused on the beverage at hand,” explains Chase Sinzer, owner of wine bar Claud and Penny in the East Village. “It might feel more ‘casual’ in that it invites guests to maybe peruse the bottles on the wall or pour their own wine from an ice bucket.”
When the Van Cortlandt family acquired their sprawling Hudson Valley estate in the late 1600s, they couldn't have imagined that it would one day host a jack-o'-lantern festival with pumpkin sculptures including a Kraken, moving windmill, and Statue of Liberty.
Amtrak is launching a brand-new route this fall that will run from Chicago all the way down to Miami.

Traveling well means being prepared for just about anything, from the time you leave until the moment you return, and this includes being intentional about all of the luggage needed for the journey. Much like with a suitcase or weekender, deciding on which shoulder bag to bring along on your travels requires a fair amount of thinking ahead. Not only is it usually dependent on the destination itself, but I’ve learned that considering the mode of transportation you’ll be using to get there is just as important.
JetBlue recently unveiled plans for lounges at both Boston Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
As the dog days of summer ease into a mild—if not slightly chilly—fall, autumnal joys like pumpkin spice, cider donuts, Halloween decorations, and cozy farmers’ markets, flood our moodboards and imaginations. Arguably one of the most anticipated fall activities is apple picking, as the leaves start to fall and classic crowd-pleasers like Galas and Honeycrisps fully blush into their red-yellow skins.
