With an interior style that somehow seamlessly combines industrial, Art Deco, and Belle Époque, The Maker hotel in downtown Hudson, New York, delighted the design world when it debuted in August. (Although originally open only for weekend stays, from October 15, mid-week booking is finally available.) The 11-room property is intimate but somehow sprawling: it stretches over three historic buildings: a 19th-century carriage house, a Georgian mansion, and a Greek Revival building. There’s plenty of charming shops in Hudson, but you may not want to leave The Maker: there’s a cocktail lounge perfect for sipping martinis, a café inspired by the eateries of Vienna, and a farm-to-table restaurant in a glass conservatory. Plus, the bath products in each room are excellent: the hotel is owned by the co-founders of beauty company Fresh. This month Cara, a new boutique hotel, opened in Los Feliz. It’s the embodiment of California cool minimalism: formerly a 1950s-era motel, the updated space is adorned in light oak herringbone and cream limestone floors, fresh white linens, and the occasional black accent.
With international tourist bans, state by state quarantine mandates, and even differing COVID-19 restrictions by zip code, traveling this fall is a bit complicated, to say the least. Yet, if done safely, it can also offer some much-needed respite—vacations, after all, are scientifically proven to improve mental health. But where to go, exactly? Most people, nowadays, prefer to hit the road: while flights and train travel plummeted over the past few months, statistics show car travel in fact increased over last year. So that was kept top of mind when picking the following getaways, all of which are in driving distance from one, or multiple, metropolitan areas. There’s a chic new boutique hotel a short distance from New York City, or a serene spot in the Los Angeles neighbor of Los Feliz. And of course, plenty of cabins, because what is fall without some rustic, remote leaf-peeping in the wilderness? Below, our suggestions—and if you do decide to venture out, please do so safely by testing before you leave and always, always, wearing a mask.
