Mount Washington Hotel
The grand White Mountains resort where the Bretton Woods Agreement was signed — Princess Carolyn's ghost still dances in the ballroom and roams the tower suite.
History & haunting lore
The Omni Mount Washington Hotel was built in 1902 by industrialist Joseph Stickney as a grand resort beneath the Presidential Range. The 1944 Bretton Woods monetary conference took place here. Stickney's wife Carolyn, who married twice more but loved the hotel, is the primary ghost.
Princess Carolyn, as she became known, is reported in the ballroom, dining room, and tower suite. Staff describe the scent of perfume, curtains moving without draft, and lights flickering in her former rooms. The hotel's remote mountain setting and vintage grandeur reinforce the atmosphere.
The hotel operates year-round as a full-service resort with skiing, hiking, and spa facilities. The White Mountains location means serious weather in winter. Book tower rooms or the Princess Carolyn suite for the atmospheric experience.
