There’s something frenetic about the fall season. Between back-to-school energy, Fashion Week and football games, the months of autumn are not only cozy, but a little crazy too. And we speak for everyone by saying we could use a little recharge.

Before you daydream about traveling to Europe or the tropics for a fall getaway, consider a rejuvenating weekend closer to home, with a trip in the US. Perhaps you’re looking to convene with nature (and a little adrenaline) at a wilderness lodge Out West. Or, maybe you’re in desperate need of a trip to the spa to unwind and indulge in self-care. Whatever way you choose to recharge, read on for 16 hotels in the US that are perfect for a late-fall getaway.
