The Omni Mount Washington is a grand historic hotel dating from the turn of the 20th century, majestically situated in the heart of New Hampshire's White Mountains. The scenery is nothing short of gorgeous, with the 6,288-foot Mount Washington, New England's highest mountain, visible from many of the rooms. The main hotel holds 200 guestrooms and suites under its red peaked roofs, along with plenty of rooms for the little ones to explore and stretch their legs -- including seven separate drinking and dining locations, a wraparound verandah and a grand hall with fireplace. The hotel's claim to fame is its history as the site of the 1944 International Monetary Conference that resulted in the Bretton Woods Accord that established the current system of global finance -- budding history buffs with enjoy the plaques on many of the doors listing the dignitaries who stayed there, and an exhibit on the ground floor showing off souvenirs of the conference.

The 800,000 acres of the resort also contains two other lodgings -- the Bretton Arms Inn, which is more intimate for couples and also has pet-friendly rooms, and The Lodge, which caters specifically to cross-country skiers in the winter. Attached to the resort is the acclaimed Bretton Woods Ski Area, the largest in New Hampshire, with 434 acres of ski and snowboard terrain, 101 trails and glades, four terrain parks and nine lifts. Its Nordic Center is one of the largest cross-country areas in the East, with an impressive network of trails. A newly built Canopy Tour, inaugurated in 2009, is one of the largest of its kind in North America, with 10 zip lines -- some up to 900 feet long -- connecting platforms more than 50 feet off the ground. Open year-round, the tour takes more than three hours to complete, and includes explanations of the alpine environment by naturalist-guides. The rest of the resort is also open in warm-weather months, and offers a wide range of outdoor activities for the whole family, including horseback riding, golfing and fishing

A recent renovation of the resort has poured more than 50 million dollars into sprucing up all of the rooms and suites in a soothing palette of earth tones, refurbishing bathrooms and creating a new Presidential Wing with additional suites, a new cutting-edge spa and conference center. The resort further plans to restore its Donald golf course to its original glory.
