Fall is always a nostalgic time for me. Living in southern California, the one season I truly miss is autumn; the colors, that cool snap in the air and the promise of the holidays to come.

Fall signifies new beginnings for so many of us – the start of school, gearing up for the holiday season and looking forward to the new year. It’s a great time to plan a weekend getaway to see the splendor of fall or plan a trip to the "city that never sleeps".


Heading north, we visit the Admiral’s Inn in Ogunquit. This resort has beautifully renovated rooms combined with the traditional charm of an Inn, where you can stroll the spacious grounds, take a swim in the heated pool or take a Jacuzzi, all the while surrounded by the natural beauty of Maine.

The Admiral’s Inn offers all of the amenities you would expect – wireless internet, lounge and restaurant as well as hotel-style suites. Located in the heart of Ogunquit, the Marginal Way, Perkins Cove and The Ogunquit Playhouse are all steps away.


Further South, the Elkhorn Inn in West Virginia provides bed and breakfast accommodations as well as an historic theatre in the style of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Located on the trout-filled Elkhorn Creek, the Inn has great bird-watching and is near some of the best ATV trails in the eastern US.

Boasting not only an elegant dining room but period 1930’s furnishings, art, antiques, clawfoot tubs and a cozy fireplace lounge, the Elkhorn Inn also provides modern amenities: wireless internet, satellite TV, bathrobes and signature toiletries. This award winning Inn has been featured on HGTV, the DIYnetwork, the Speed Channel and Preservation Magazine.


If the big city is more appealing, don’t miss the Renaissance New York. The Renaissance NY Times Square hotel, which rises over 26 stories above Times Square, is having a beautification from top to bottom of over 24 million dollars to include eclectic bathrooms, new media panel technology, wireless high-speed internet and much more.

The Renaissance NY Times Square Hotel offers guests a perfect location in the center of the world's best entertainment and shopping and steps away from midtown businesses and corporate headquarters. This AAA Four-Diamond gleaming glass structure occupies the island where Broadway and Seventh Avenue meet and is one block from Rockefeller Center making it the perfect synthesis of luxury and location. And the beauty of Central Park is only moments away!


So make the most of your time before the hectic holidays are upon you – and book that weekend Fall Foliage getaway today!
