When Destination Hotels and Resorts unveiled Stowe Mountain Lodge in June 2008, the 312-room ski, golf and spa hotel, located at the base of Stowe Mountain Resort and two massive mountains, Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak, redefined Stowe as a preeminent luxury mountain resort experience.

The lodge delivers a level of service found only at the world’s most preeminent resorts, with a precision typically associated with world-class properties in the world, a sophistication inspired by the finest hotels and a relaxed-warmth that is distinctly New England.

Stowe Mountain Lodge is the centerpiece of Spruce Peak at Stowe, a $400 million alpine community. It has been in planning and development stages for the past 16 years.

A true year-round resort with activities for every season, Stowe Mountain Lodge offers a variety of invigorating recreation and relaxing activities amidst Vermont’s most beautiful surroundings. An exclusive Bob Cupp 18-hole mountain golf course, ski-in/ski-out access to over 100 legendary trails, a huge 21,000 square foot spa and wellness center, a heated pool, casual and fine dining options, professional Orvis certified fly fishing guides, an in-house recreation team leading personalized hikes and tours, and a fine selection of high-end retail shops and boutiques are merely a few of the world-class options available to guests.

The thoughtfulness of service flows into the design and décor of the property. The resort hotel is a melding of modern design with a new “Vermont-Alpine” aesthetic. The lodge’s exterior features a picturesque façade of woven Western Red Cedar timber and shingles that draw upon the natural harmony found in nature, as well as stone veneer created from the Champlain Quarries in the Adirondacks, and expansive glass to bring the beauty of the lodge’s outdoor surroundings to the indoors.

The interior design incorporates colors of the local seasons, vibrant reds, deep oranges, warm yellows and soothing greens. These warms tones, plush furnishings and soothing amenities are throughout the interiors, which are used as a showcase for Vermont’s most renowned international artists and artisans, including glassblower Simon Pearce, furniture maker Charles Shackleton, potter Miranda Thomas, artistic woodworker Parker Nichols, blacksmiths from Hubbardton Forge and several local painters, all of which enjoy a global following.

Solstice, Stowe Mountain Lodge’s fine-dining restaurant, serves only the finest contemporary American rustic cuisine, taking advantage of Vermont’s world-renowned artisan cheeses, locally-grown fresh produce and heirloom grains. Stowe Mountain Lodge is a true advocate of the “farm-to-table movement”, and has partnered with the Vermont Fresh Network and Chefs Collaborative to create a dining experience that is truly unique to the area and to each season.

Stowe, Vermont, is an internationally renowned four-season destination. Stowe Mountain Resort, with majestic Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak, is filled with activities for every season; golf, tennis, hiking, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, world-class dining, shopping, spas and more. Stowe’s historic village combined with Vermont’s most spectacular landscape creates the quintessential New England getaway. For more info checkout www.stowe.com.
