Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa

Founded in 1865 in the White Mountains of Whitefield, New Hampshire, Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa gained a second lease on life thanks to a $20 million restoration and modernization in 2002. Today, the longtime haven of presidents and Hollywood stars features contemporary four-diamond hospitality in its dining outlets and 145 accommodations—along with timeless views of 57 mountains in three states.

Meetings convene in over 20,000 square feet of conference space, best followed, perhaps, by trips to the fitness center or spa, games on the clay tennis courts or historic nine-hole golf course, horseback riding, or cross-country skiing and other snow sports in season. Custom team-building programs might call for visits to the on-site farm or competitions at the Paintball Adventure Park—just two of many facets to the 1,700-acre property.
