Best Spa Hotels in New Hampshire

Nestled in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, approximately 160 miles north of Boston, the Omni Mount Washington Resort offers ample amenities and a sophisticated setting. The property houses a 25,000-square-foot spa and a nine-hole and an 18-hole golf course, not to mention treetop zip lines that allow for canopy tours of Bretton Woods (led by adventure guides). Meanwhile, previous visitors praise the large guest rooms, which feature flat-screen TVs, marble bathrooms and, in some cases, gas fireplaces. For a little extra relaxation, book a replenishing massage or body treatment at The Spa: travelers say the services are worth the steep price tags. As far as eating goes, this Omni resort boasts two on-site dining venues — the main dining room and Stickney's Restaurant — that both earn high praise for tasty cuisine (though some guests do describe the waitstaff as inattentive). The staff throughout the rest of the hotel, however, receives rave reviews for being warm and inviting. If you are a member of the Omni Select Guest loyalty program, you can enjoy perks, such as complimentary Wi-Fi access and free shoe shines.

Travelers searching for a secluded retreat should look no further than Mountain View Grand Resort. This charming resort offers a host of family-friendly activities, including family football, dog sledding and the kid's mountaineering club. And when parents need a little break, they can steal away to the resort's spa, where they can slip off for a massage or take a dip in the outdoor pool. Beyond the bountiful list of amenities, recent guests at Mountain View appreciate the impeccable service, upscale and casual dining venues and tranquil accommodations, equipped with mahogany furniture, mountain views and HD flat-screen TVs. You'll find the Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa on Mountain View Road, about a 3-mile drive north of downtown Whitefield, New Hampshire.

Burrowed in New Hampshire's Lakes region on Shepherd Hill (just a two-hour drive from Boston), The Manor on Golden Pond earns high marks from visitors for its romantic ambiance and rustic charm. Recent guests (especially couples) commend the cozy accommodations; each guest room and suite features a distinctive style and decor, with many rooms boasting wood-burning fireplaces. All accommodations come equipped with L'Occitane bath products, Keurig coffee makers, cable TVs and Frette linens. (Some visitors do note though that the rooms are starting to show their age and could benefit from an update.) The amorous atmosphere carries over to the Seasons Spa, which offers couples-oriented packages that include sparkling wine. As far as dining goes, the hotel houses the Van Horn Dining Room, which serves mouthwatering dishes like mushroom risotto and smoke-roasted duck. After savoring delectable fare, head to the Three Cocks Pub for a twist on classic cocktails.

Arranged across a handful different cottages and one main building, rooms at The Wentworth are all uniquely decorated. Some rooms are equipped with sleigh beds, some feature gas fireplaces and some even have private outdoor hot tubs. Most rooms do come with standard comforts like Keurig coffee makers and complimentary Wi-Fi access, touches past guests appreciated, though some noted the decor and furnishings in some rooms were in need of a facelift. Others, on the other hand, found the antique feel and old decor to add to the inn's charm. Situated among the White Mountains in Jackson, New Hampshire, The Wentworth is an especially popular choice for couples looking for a quiet getaway. There aren't too many attractions nearby, but travelers can get some rest and relaxation with a river stone massage or exfoliation wrap, which can be enjoyed in the spa treatment room or in the comfort of guests' accommodations. When it comes to dining, the Wentworth houses one on-site eatery that serves breakfast and dinner with menu items directly sourced from local farms and butchers. Above all else, guests say what sets this hotel apart is its exceptional staff, noting all the Wentworth's employees were warm and friendly.
