Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa

Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa occupies a hilltop above Whitefield in the northern White Mountains of New Hampshire — a Victorian resort hotel that has operated continuously since 1865, making it one of the oldest still-operating resort hotels in New England. From the resort's 1,600-foot hilltop, the Presidential Range — Mount Washington and its neighbors, named for American presidents — fills the eastern horizon with the most dramatic mountain panorama in New England outside the summit itself. The resort's Nordic Spa features Finnish sauna, outdoor hot tubs, cold plunge pools, and a thermal circuit designed for year-round use; the combination of zero-light-pollution skies and sauna in the northern New Hampshire winter creates an experience that most of New England's more fashionable resorts cannot match. The property's agriculture program produces food for the inn's dining; the maple sugaring in spring is among the most celebrated in New Hampshire.
