USA Love List was created during a road trip when the site's founder, Sarah Wagner, and her family were traveling from across the country in their RV. Our staff loves travel and Fall is the perfect time to take in the changing sites of the beautiful landscapes across the country, especially on the East coast. See our list of luxury fall travel destinations in the USA we love.

Luxury Fall Travel Destinations in the USA

New England's Finest

Boston, Massachusetts

  • Mandarin Oriental Boston offers an intimate, luxurious hotel stay, while combining classic New England elegance with refined Oriental touches to create one of the most distinctive hospitality experience in the region. It has been awarded both Forbes Five-Stars and AAA Five-Diamonds. The hotel is located in the heart of Boston’s chic Back Bay on Boylston Street and is connected to access the Prudential Center, connecting guests to the city’s finest shopping, cultural venues and business institutions.

    Mandarin Oriental is first in class for its exceptional customer service experience. Personal, genuine interactions with the hotel staff are what made our stay so memorable. Take the house car within a two mile radius to make exploring easy; we loved taking it to LA Burdick for an afternoon single origin hot chocolate.

  • The AAA Four-Diamond rated Envoy Hotel is Autograph Collection Hotels’ first Boston property and a beacon in the city’s Seaport. The celebrates the area's history and the arts. The Envoy’s curated art collection winks at its Seaport District surroundings, often repurposing once-revolutionary technology. In the lobby, for example, is a portrait of a sunglasses-clad woman, made from VHS tapes. (It was an eye-catching piece, and one of my favorites.)

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

  • Pittsburgh is a city rich in history and culture, built on shoulders of American Manufacturing. Here’s a bit of Pittsburgh history 101. During the industrial revolution, the city had over 900 factories. It was also where industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, Andrew W. Mellon, and Charles M. Schwab built their fortunes. Bankers, and lawyers, played a key role in Pittsburgh’s development as these industrialists sought massive loans to upgrade plants, integrate industries and fund technological advances.

Lewes, Delaware

  • It seems like Delaware is a forgotten state. Opps did I write that?! Once you visit Dogfish Inn and Dogfish Head Brewery, you surely will not forget the state ever again. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love the Dogfish Head brand. From the beer, to the employees, and the hospitality. There’s so much to love. Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head founder, who started the company in 1995, created a really memorable experience as a way to build the brand. While staying at the Inn, sampling Dogfish beers, and eating at at the Alehouse, you realize Sam created a unique experience that makes you feel like you’re part of the Dogfish “family“. Read more about our experience here
