For me, going into September is difficult. With that, those last few moments of summer are gone, the temperature starts to change and it’s time to break out your warm coats. My September was particularly great, though. It started with a cruise around the Mediterranean and checking out some dreamy hotels in Italy, followed by a quick trip to Mexico to check out Hyatt’s new all-inclusive brand.

While I was busy moving around, there was a lot of hotel news during this month. Graduate Hotels officially joined Hilton Honors, along with about 100 smaller luxury hotels. Wyndham introduced its newest luxury brand in the US, and Kimpton began taking reservations for its first all-inclusive resort.

Here’s some more hotel news you might have missed in September.
