Guests arrived by train from Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, with presidents, celebrities, and royalty among the notable visitors drawn to the hotel's 903-foot Veranda.
During Prohibition, the squash courts became The Cave, a speakeasy that still exists today as one of the resort's most beloved gathering spots.
Where the Modern Economy Was Forged (July 1–22, 1944) Delegates from 44 nations convened at Bretton Woods for the International Monetary Conference, establishing the World Bank, the IMF, and the U.S. dollar as the foundation of international exchange. The formal documents were signed in the hotel's Gold Room, preserved today as a historic site.
Local business leaders purchased the property at auction in 1991 for $3.15 million and reassembled the original Stickney estate, reacquiring the golf courses, surrounding land, and the Bretton Woods Ski Area. The hotel received National Historic Landmark designation in 1986 and opened its first-ever winter season on Thanksgiving Day 1999.
Since Omni Hotels & Resorts acquired the property in 2015, the resort has seen millions in renovations including a Presidential Wing, the state's only 8-passenger gondola, and a Grand Reimagination of all 200 historic rooms to be completed in 2026. Today the resort employs more than 600 people year-round, growing to over 1,000 in winter, with most staff drawn from around the world and surrounding community.
Thomas Edison designed the hotel's electrical system. Babe Ruth golfed the fairways. Presidents, princesses, and states people were regulars throughout the decades. Carolyn Stickney, who inherited the hotel after her husband's death in 1903 and later married a French royal, presided over the property with formidable personal flair until her death in the early 1930s.
Stickney used the latest engineering of the era, including a steel superstructure, a private power plant, and innovative heating and plumbing systems. The finished structure spanned more than 2,000 doors, 1,200 windows, and 11 miles of plumbing pipe, with craftsmen housed on the property during construction. It remains the largest wooden structure in New England.
The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, with National Historic Landmark designation following in 1986 alongside the 1896 Bretton Arms Inn. Recent milestones include a reimagined 1902 dining room, a new express quad lift debuting in the 2025-26 ski season, and a Grand Reimagination of all 200 historic rooms in 2026, blending architectural heritage with modern comfort.
