view followed by a spa treatment. He's a shutterbug and longs to capture amazing
alpine photos, she wants elegant lodging and afternoon wine tasting with the

synthetic rooftop ice rink, spa-ing, even cooking classes with the Chef and
historic hotel tours. This is one of our editors' favorite New England resorts
for scenic skiing and regal lodging all in one sophisticated resort, at the base
of Mount Washington - the highest peak in the Northeast at 6,288.'
Ski among
Bretton Woods 464-acres of perfectly groomed runs and beautiful glades with a
view of Mount Washington by day, then retreat to your snow castle for après ski
with alpine glow and cocktails in the Conservatory. The Omni Mount Washington
Resort has it. This grand 1902 Hotel, site of the International Monetary
Conference of 1944 where the Gold standard was established, is a marvel of
Italianate craftsmanship and architecture. Every details to this grand dame is
to be admired, from the Tiffany stained glass windows to the granite fireplaces.
Recent renovations ($80 million goes a long way) include the new
25,000-square-foot Spa, 20,000-square-foot Conference Center, outdoor pool
complex, and rooftop ice rink on the Jeweled terrace, and upgrades to the
guestrooms, the historic Grand Hall, The Cave and Stickney's Pub for casual
dining and drinks.
Built in 1902 by New Hampshire native Joseph Stickney, who made his fortune in
coal mining and the Pennsylvania Railroad, this hotel exudes the class and
craftsmanship of its day - while offering every modern amenity imaginable - WiFi,
Fitness Room, indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs, and four diamond dining.
Stickney's widow (he died the year after his grand hotel opened), Princess
Carolyn is known to haunt the 200-room Hotel, Suite 314 where her original
canopy bed remains. History buffs will love the hotel tour and the century of
folklore from big celebs to bankruptcy, the first indoor pool and private baths,
to politics and princesses - these grand walls have witnessed it all.

Grand Dining Room with orchestral music? If you still have steam after your four

speakeasy in the brick and granite cellar of the Hotel.
