The Omni Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire is a "favorite New England retreat of presidents, poets and celebrities," according to their website.
Along with its 200 luxury guest rooms and suites, the resort offers a 25,000-square-foot, full-service spa and salon, fine dining, 27 holes of golf, and activities that include skiing, hiking fishing, and sleigh rides.
Industrialist Joseph Stickney had the hotel built between 1900 and 1902 — and it's rumored that his wife, Carolyn, who died in 1936, still haunts the hotel. Forbes included Omni Mount Washington Resort in a 2017 list of America's 25 most haunted hotels. But not to worry: Carolyn is a well-mannered ghost, according to Town and Country magazine.
