New Hampshire Hotel Guide: Latest Openings and Top Picks

Rustic yet refined, The Glen House reopens in mid-September with stunning views of nearby Mt. Washington. Now in its fifth incarnation since the original hotel was established in 1852, the redesigned property honors the classic White Mountain hotels through traditional clapboard exteriors and painted trim. Guest rooms reflect Shaker-inspired simplicity, and several accommodations offer private balconies that look out toward the mountain’s 6,288-foot summit.

Dining options include The Notch Grille, which serves a selection of American favorites, along with a bar-lounge and an outdoor dining terrace that showcases the surrounding mountain scenery. The hotel welcomes dogs and provides complimentary WiFi for guests. Situated roughly a half hour from North Conway, the property is planned as a carbon-neutral building, using a geothermal system for heating and cooling and sourcing additional energy from off-site hydro and solar power.

Outdoor recreation is a highlight for visitors year-round. Guests can explore seasonal walking and hiking trails, go trail biking, try fly fishing, join guided kayaking excursions, or enjoy winter pursuits such as snowshoeing, snow-tubing and skiing. The combination of traditional New England architecture, modern sustainability features and a range of outdoor activities positions The Glen House as a comfortable base for experiencing the White Mountains.
