Family Suite and Parlor

The suite opens to mountain views of the Presidential Range, which suits a resort set in the White Mountains at the base of Mount Washington, the Northeast's highest peak.

Yes, it is designed for families. A free crib is available, and connecting rooms can be arranged if your group needs more space. The resort is family-oriented and welcomes children of all ages. It counts guests 12 and under as children. Blackout drapes help little ones nap and sleep.

You get a 37-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels and closed captioning, free Wi-Fi (25+ Mbps) and free local calls. There is a mini-fridge, a desk with a chair, and air conditioning and heating. Daily housekeeping and turndown service are included, and champagne service is an optional extra.

The mandatory resort fee covers in-room Wi-Fi, the complimentary resort shuttle (including the ski shuttle), access to the fitness center and pools, in-room bottled water and ski storage. The resort has a heated indoor pool and a year-round heated outdoor pool and whirlpool. The pools and fitness center are open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM.

The resort has several dining outlets. 1902 in the Main Dining Room serves breakfast and dinner, and dinner reservations are required. Stickney's, a pub and steakhouse, serves lunch and dinner daily. Switchback Grille at the summit offers burgers, sandwiches and outdoor deck seating. Room service from the 1902 kitchen runs at limited hours. Dress is casual, but shirts and shoes are required, and swimwear and sleepwear should be avoided.

On property, families can ride the Bretton Woods Skyway Gondola up Mount Rosebrook, try the Canopy Tour, ride horses at Bretton Woods Stables, or play tennis and pickleball. Winter brings skiing at Bretton Woods and Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. In summer there is golf and hiking. The Spa is for guests 16 and older, so plan other activities for younger children.

Check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. Guests must be 18 or older to reserve, and photo ID is required at check-in. Self-parking and valet are available for a fee, and there is an electric car charging station. There is no airport shuttle, so a rental car is suggested. Portland, Maine is about 2 hours away and Boston about 2.5 hours. After 10:30 PM only registered guests may use guest room elevators or rooms, so tell visiting relatives to meet you in the public areas.

The suite can be set up with 1 Queen Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed, or with 2 Queen Beds, and comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests across its 300 sq. ft. layout of a separate bedroom and parlor sitting area. That makes it a practical choice for a family of four to six, or for two couples traveling together who want a shared living space rather than two separate rooms.

The bathroom includes a bathtub, plush bathrobes, a hair dryer, and free toiletries such as shampoo, soap and toilet paper, along with fresh towels restocked with daily housekeeping. It's set up for a family getting ready together after a day on the mountain or in the pool.

Yes, the Family Suite and Parlor is offered with accessibility features, making it a suitable option for guests who need an adapted layout without giving up the extra space of the parlor and bedroom.

At 300 sq. ft. with a separate bedroom and parlor, this suite offers meaningfully more living space than a standard room, plus the flexibility of two queen beds or a queen bed with a sofa bed. It's built for groups who need a place to spread out and gather, not just sleep, while still sitting within the resort's historic 1902 building.

It works well either way. The pillowtop mattress, premium and hypo-allergenic bedding, and down comforter make for a comfortable multi-night stay, and turndown service plus optional champagne service make it easy to dress the room up for an anniversary or special occasion even though the suite is designed with families in mind.

As a self-contained historic resort, guests in this suite are within easy reach of the heated indoor pool and the year-round heated outdoor pool and whirlpool, the fitness center, and on-site dining rooms like 1902 and Stickney's, with the complimentary resort shuttle available for venues farther across the property, such as Switchback Grille at the summit.

The resort keeps its guest floors calm after hours — only registered guests may use guest room elevators or enter guest rooms after 10:30 PM — and the suite's blackout drapes help block early mountain sunlight, both useful if little ones need to settle in early or sleep past sunrise.

Beyond the extra square footage, the suite's separate parlor area gives families or two couples a shared space to relax away from the bed, while a free crib and the option to arrange connecting rooms make it easier to configure the space around a young family or a multi-generational group.

The room pairs practical family features — a free crib, closed captioned 37-inch flat-screen TV, and a mini-fridge for snacks and bottles — with resort-standard comforts like daily housekeeping and free Wi-Fi, so the basics are covered without needing to ask twice.
