A room with a view in New York City
An enchanting site at Central Park in New York city
The best place to start your autumn holiday in New York is, of course, the iconic Central Park. Every turn reveals an enchanting view, whether you’re exploring woodland of the Ramble or strolling along the Lake. Another great place to visit during the autumn time is the Riverside Park, located just 10 minutes away from Central Park. This historic park offers some of the best views of the Hudson River and a more local feel. To really immerse yourself in the New York autumn foliage, book a room with a view at one of the park-facing hotels, like the Mandarin Oriental New York on Columbus Circus. This New York hotel offers Central Park View rooms and suites, so you can wake up to a gorgeous morning autumn sight.
A storybook walk along the streets of Reykjavik
The verdant city of Reykjavik
Reykjavik is one of the most verdant capitals in Europe, making it the ideal stopover for admiring Iceland’s autumn leaves. Just by walking around you’ll find the pastel-painted buildings and mountainous scenery provides a storybook atmosphere during the harvest season. Avid hikers should look into trekking Heiðmörk nature-reserve, located just outside of the city. Known as hiking haven to the locals, the site offers volcanic features as well as vibrantly hued trees and plants. Take your autumn holiday to Iceland a step further by booking your stay at the cosy, yet stylish, Konsulat Hotel in the city centre.

Crimson painted leaves adorning dramatic architecture of centuries-old temples is a vision that can only be witnessed in the Land of the Rising Sun. The city of Kyoto in Japan is renowned for its historical landmarks and mystical gardens, making autumn the best time to visit. While the entire city is draped in maple trees, be sure to stop by the Ginkaku-ji Temple, home to one of the most beautiful gardens in the region, designed to reflect the Zen nature of the atmosphere. And don’t miss Kyoto Gyoen (also known as the Imperial Palace Park), a lush public garden lined with cherry blossom trees and evergreen grounds. Be sure to book your holiday to Japan at the Ritz Carlton Kyoto, which boasts its own zen garden, a manicured lawn and a riverside location.

For other colourful corners, visit the VanDusen Botanical Gardens to watch the Heathers and Autumn Crocus bloom. Stanley National Park is a great place to visit if you’re looking to get lost in nature. Head towards the Lost Lagoon for a picturesque view of the lake and golden backdrop.
