Omni Mount Washington Resort

A recent $60 million facelift did wonders for this grande dame of the White Mountains, preserving all its charms (the views, the excellent dining, the cruise ship-worthy list of activities) while spiffing up its guest rooms and impressive common areas. Meanwhile, new offerings, such as the longest canopy zipline tour in New England, make this even more of a year-round destination...and the state's absolute favorite.
