Tucked Away in New Hampshire's Mountains: A Pristine Resort with Tranquil Pools, Opulent Luxury, and Exquisite Dining

At the base of Mount Washington, New Hampshire’s tallest peak, lies an unmistakably luxurious property with over a century of history. It’s a grand stage for a fittingly grand hotel and resort property like the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa, but the venue lives up to the billing. What was once a turn of the century getaway for the wealthy and elite of Boston and New York has transformed into a resort generous on amenities for the whole family. The Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa is a year-round playground for those looking to explore wild beauty in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains with a backdrop known by locals as the Presidential Range.



Against all odds, the same original Gilded Age wood framework put together to create this mountain enclave in 1902 is still in place, and complimentary modernizing touches have brought this resort’s architecture into the 21st century. Most of the resort’s rooms and suites feature private balconies, and weddings and events are held with the backdrop of the area’s abundant natural beauty. During warmer weather months, hiking trails and golf are the stars of the show, and by winter, the resort evolves into a cozy home base for skiers and snowboarders from all over the world to enjoy the views of the snowy peaks in a warm and cozy setting.

Ageless elegance sits on the heels of the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa

This escape to Bretton Woods, New Hampshire is about a two-hour drive northwest of Portland, Maine, which is one of the best foodie destinations in America. Upon arrival at the resort, the abundance of windows throughout the 269 guest rooms and suites make for an open air feel in the mountains and are a tribute to the Renaissance Revival stylings of the original design. The grandest display of architecture is in the Presidential Wing, which will have any guest feeling pampered. Visitors compliment the hospitality and service on arrival that goes above and beyond to make you enjoy your stay, from the valet that are remarkably courteous to the breezy check-in process. Once unpacked, the exploration of the property and its year-round amenities are at your disposal.

At the resort, there’s an abundance of views of Mount Washington, which has a peak elevation of 6,288 feet. Guests can also view the mountain from the Observatory Bar, or more actively by bike or by horseback. Golfers will likely be hitting up the two championship golf courses, which offer 27 holes of views. Kids and families will appreciate the heated pools, both indoors and outdoors, with year round availability. 

If you’d like to relax, there’s also the 25,000-square-foot spa that adults rave about. From massages to facials and luxury spa enhancements, the Omni Mount Washington Spa is focused on delivering serenity. After a full day of activities the dining takes center stage, and the Omni’s hospitality extends to its restaurants. Stickney’s is the best spot for a steak, and 1902 offers classic elegance for fine dining. No matter what type of lounging you choose, this mountainside oasis sets a standard for luxury accommodations in New Hampshire.
