TWIN FARMS BARNARD, VT.
In autumn, the state of Vermont comes to life with bursting colors of red, orange and yellow everywhere, especially as seen from your whimsical cottage tucked away in the Twin Farms’ secluded woodlands. Situated on 300 acres oflush meadowlands and overlooking the Green Mountains in Barnard, Twin Farms is a resort where nature meets luxury. It features 20 distinctive lodgings with king-size feather beds and sitting areas with wood-burning fireplaces that open onto screened porches. The five-star property’ s cuisine reflects the changing seasons, inspired by Vermont’ s finest produce, and Twin Farms’ estate-grown herbs, fruits and vegetables.
INTERCONTINENTAL WASHINGTON D. C.— THE WHARF WASHINGTON, D. C.
This luxury hotel, which opened in October 2017, offers spacious guest rooms with unrivaled views of the Potomac River and the changing colors of the surrounding foliage--a beautiful contrast to the surrounding public spaces. In mid-2018, the hotel debuted a new rooftop pool complex and L’ Occitane spa. While it will be too cold to swim, guests will have a prime leaf-peeping spot and can retreat down to the spa to warm up with a variety of fall-inspired spa treatments.
