For me, fall has always been a magical time to travel, catching the leaves change colors, apple picking and enjoying that beautiful afternoon glow.
If you need a little inspiration for where to go for that crisp fall feeling, here are a few fall hotels worth traveling to for picture-perfect leaf peeping .
And here's the rest of the hotel news you need to know this week.
I'm a huge fan of 1 Hotels, a wellness- and nature-focused brand that's big on sustainability, design and understated luxury. I've been lucky enough to stay at locations soaring above New York City and in the heart of London's glitzy Mayfair . Now, the chain (which is under Barry Sternlicht's revived Starwood hotel brand ) is opening in Austin.
Set in the tallest tower in Texas (howdy to my home state!), 1 Hotel Austin features 252 rooms and suites in the buzzy Rainey Street District right by some of the best Austin has to offer: nature, nightlife and everything in between. The hotel offers nature-inspired interiors (think: plants everywhere), a restaurant from James Beard nominee chef Johnny Curiel, plus a wine bar, and a Bamford Wellness Spa. Need more? How about a rooftop pool with views as wide as the Texas sky?
How to book: Cash rates can be found as low as $372 per night, though the majority or rates sit closer to $600 per night.

I love the ease of all-inclusive resorts , and I really love Punta Cana . The beaches are beautiful, the palm trees look like they're dancing and I always have a good time. Hyatt's new-ish lifestyle-focused, socially-connected Hyatt Vivid brand now has a home on those beaches in Punta Cana, not too far from the airport.
Set in a remodeled and renewed former resort, Hyatt Vivid Punta Cana offers an adults-only experience with 467 guest rooms in a setting "designed for guests who are social explorers, conscious connectors, digital nomads and travelers seeking meaningful experiences." There are five elevated restaurants and seven bars and lounges (offering top-shelf drinks, mind you), as well as a wellness cafe. Activities abound, from DJ sets to spa rituals, plus holistic activities and creative workshops.
