The Omni Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire has the historic splendor and charm from 1902 blended with modern amenities after an $80 million renovation. In the background is Mount Washington. This snow-capped peak reaches an elevation of 6,288 feet, New England’s tallest. The view is majestic yet it is notorious for extreme weather. The mountain experiences hurricane-force winds for a third of the year. The strongest gust was measured at 231 m.p.h. In January, 2004, the temperature plunged to a wind chill of 103° below zero.
