Who’s ready to get cozy? Fall travel is about walking through the park with crisp leaves underfoot, wandering the streets dressed chicly in layers, and staying in hotels that encourage snuggling up with a book by the fire. There’s something nostalgic about this season, too, as we look back on the summer that was while digging out our favorite, unmothballed sweaters. And what do you know — nostalgia is a common theme across a trio of newly reopened hotels we’re recommending for your next autumnal adventure, each redesigned to evoke its prime. For both a Nantucket boutique property and a Swiss Alpine lodge, that bygone era is the mid-20th century, when hospitality design celebrated craft and textiles. And for a storied Parisian gem, a renovation has brought back the glory days of the Left Bank’s artistic flourish in the 1920s. All three are designed with warm, earthy palettes that perfectly complement the fall foliage (nonexistent as yet in New York, but sure it’s coming!), and provide a snug and welcoming atmosphere as the weather cools and nights draw in.

The Beachside Hotel by Parts & Labor

Nantucket is a renowned bougie summer destination, but the Massachusetts island is just as captivating (and less pretentious) off-season. The Beachside Hotel, a 1960s building on North Beach Street, has been renovated by the NYC-based Parts and Labor Design, which has leaned into the same decade, when Nantucket was very much a creative haven. The hotel’s layout, which remains unchanged, comprises five shingle-clad buildings that surround a courtyard with a pool, lawn and plenty of seating. In the lobby, a fireplace encourages guests to gather on warm-hued comfy sofas and armchairs, while a terracotta-beige checkerboard tiled floor continues up the walls in places and also extends outside. On the opposite side of the wood-paneled reception area is a bar fronted by seafoam-green tiles, plus bespoke cantilevered woven chairs and tiled coffee tables. Several pieces from Known Work, the collectible design brand founded by Parts and Labor Design’s partners Jeremy Levitt and Danu Kennedy, can also be found throughout the lobby and main bar. All of the guest rooms have direct access to the outdoors, and are designed with a midcentury flavor, conjured by quilted bedding, custom headboards complete with tiny-ball trims, and woven petal-like lampshades.

The Brecon

If you really want to get away from it all, a destination like the Swiss Alps might be just the ticket. In shoulder season, after the summer hikers and before the winter skiers, these mountains offer a remote and peaceful getaway amongst insanely breathtaking scenery. And in the village of Adelboden, 45 minutes from Bern, one hideaway promises that “guests remain fully unseen from the outside world.” Previously named The Waldhaus, the traditional Swiss chalet-style property has undergone a makeover by the Amsterdam design studio Nicemakers to rekindle its 1950s-60s zenith, and is now known as The Brecon. The adults-only hotel’s common space – which encompasses a lounge, bar and dining room – has pale flagstone floors and a wood-paneled ceiling, made cozy by plush seating and thick-pile rugs. Its 18 rooms and four suites are comfortable and contemporary, featuring natural and tactile materials including timber, stone, leather and wool. Books, magazines, and artworks throughout the lodge are sourced from Amsterdam’s Bisou Gallery, offering alternative entertainment to TVs. There’s also a spa with a steam room, sauna and ice bath, and a large outdoor pool that overlooks the snowy mountain peaks beyond.

Le Grand Hotel Cayré

Even for Paris, the French capital has had a bumper year for visitors as host of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Now that the crowds have subsided, it’s the perfect time to visit the freshly scrubbed-up city, which continues to be one of the best equipped cities for chic accommodation. Le Grand Hotel Cayré, on the artsy Left Bank, has undergone a revamp by British studio Michaelis Boyd that aims to return the Achille Champy-designed building to its 1920s heyday, when artists, poets, and other creatives flocked to the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood as it became the new intellectual center of Paris. Named after its original founder, Auguste Cayré, the hotel was a haunt of many writers during the 20th century, and its redesign is a tribute to its literary past. The interiors feature embroidered fabrics, antique mirrors, natural marble, and tasseled lamps, as well as vintage posters for exhibitions that recall the area’s 1920s zeal. A sweeping marble staircase with a delicate Art Nouveau handrail leads up seven stories below a moody sky mural by Mathias Kiss. The 123 guest rooms are decorated with warm ochre, rust, and peach hues, as well as a mix of contemporary and vintage furnishings. The restaurant, called Annette, is designed as a traditional Parisian brasserie, while the speakeasy-style Officine Bac bar features gold-leaf wallpaper, dark green tones, and a brass chandelier.
