The White Mountain Hotel and Resort at the base of White Horse Ledge in Hale’s Location near North Conway offers spellbinding views of Cranmore Mountain to the east and beyond. The Ledges Dining Room is set in a semicircular space lined with windows that bring the outdoors up close and personal.

Recommendation: Try the Fridays-only five-course seafood tasting meal ($35) created by Executive Chef Josh Farrington with fresh seafood brought in from Portland, Maine. The Sunday brunch is also excellent.
