Green’s Grant, New Hampshire, is home to a new boutique hotel merging New England traditions and modern sustainability practices.

The Glen House has 68 rooms and sits at the base of Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. One of the hotel’s main goals is to operate with total energy self-sufficiency as close to carbon neutrality as possible.

The hotel’s history dates back to 1852 when the original Glen House opened. There were three more iterations of the hotel before the recent opening of the current version.

“Each new hotel took advantage of whatever the latest in building theory and technology had to offer,” said Howie Wemyss, general manager, Mt. Washington Auto Road/Great Glen Outdoor Center.

The latest Glen House hotel is the first property to stand at the site in more than 50 years. The hotel works to maintain sustainability by utilizing the existing geothermal system consisting of more than 30 wells on the property. The hotel uses LED lighting, reducing energy consumption; carefully directed exterior lighting to maintain the night sky; and a highly efficient elevator system.

The Glen House will continue innovating and working toward carbon neutrality with the installation of solar panels to supplement on-site energy creation.
