Getting There
The Omni Mount Washington is located two and a half hours from Boston, and some six hours from New York. The nearest airports are in Portland, Maine, and Manchester, N.H., both located approximately two hours away.
The Art of Smart Timing
The resort is open year-round. The most crowded time is during the winter months, when many guests come to ski. Fall foliage season can also get quite busy. Even during popular times, however, the size of the resort ensures there's always plenty of elbowroom. For bargains, the best time of year to visit is spring or early summer, when weather in the mountains can still be quite cool, but the resort still provides plenty of activities to enjoy the outdoors.
All about the Extras
Kids are well taken care of at the resort; young kids are greeted with a welcome bag containing several toys (a ball-and-paddle, a flashlight, a canteen fillable at any of the resort's restaurants). Chocolate-chip cookies and milk are provided at turndown on the night of arrival.
Babysitting is available through an independent contractor at the rate of $10 an hour, and an additional $2 per child up to four children.
For Mom and Dad
While the little ones are at Kids' Club, parents can enjoy a round at the resort's 18-hole Donald Ross golf course, or experience the new spa, which incorporates a unique line of alpine botanicals from the summit of Mount Washington.
