Sunday River ski vacations are reliable because of the best snowmaking in New England. Lodging at Sunday River Resort comes down to one of the two Grand hotels - The Grand Summit or the Jordan Grand Hotel and Spa are both on the slopes with outdoor heated swimming pools. While these hotels are not as fancy as they sound (“grand”) with 2 and 3-diamond ratings, their on mountain location is convenient with ski storage and  both Sunday River ski hotels sport fantastic outdoor heated pools.

The slopeside condominium rentals at Sunday River may not make Condé Nast's "luxury" list, but Sunday River's hotels and condos do score high for ski in/ski out location. There are a select few luxury Sunday River properties in the area.

You will also find plenty of great ski bars like the Phoenix and The Matterhorn at Sunday River, and some top restaurants in the town of Bethel – Ski Magazine named Bethel in the top 10 ski resort towns in the country.
