Stowe, Vt. (June 14, 2008) - Today, Vermont's most highly-anticipated resort hotel in decades welcomed its first guests as Stowe Mountain Lodge opened its doors to the public. The 139-room resort, managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts, is the first true luxury resort hotel experience to open in Vermont in more than 50 years. The historic town of Stowe, Vt. has long been known as the "Ski Capital
of the East" and the opening of Stowe Mountain Lodge affirms this charming

two mountains - Mt. Mansfield and Spruce Peak - will enable guests to enjoy
timeless beauty, invigorating recreation and relaxing activities in the
most luxurious and highly-coveted surroundings.
Stowe Mountain Lodge will deliver a level of service found only at five-star resorts around the world. A precision typically associated with Far Eastern properties, a sophistication inspired by the finest European hotels and the relaxed warmth that is distinctly New England. Programs such as Alpine Concierge® were created to address and anticipate guests' needs from specialty foods that are stocked in guest rooms to an international pillow menu for a restful night's sleep. The Alpine Concierge® staff creates a personal profile for each and every guest, which tracks all preferences and unique requests. These profiles allow the Alpine Concierge® staff to create an exceptional bespoke service experience for each guest during their current and future visits to the lodge. The thoughtfulness of service principals also flows into the design and décor of the property. The resort hotel is a melding of modern design concepts with a new "Vermont-Alpine" aesthetic. The lodge's exterior features a picturesque façade of woven timber and shingles that draw upon the natural harmony found in nature, as well as stone veneer created from local quarries, and expansive glass to bring the beauty of the lodge's outdoor surroundings to the indoors. The interior design incorporates a color palette of the local seasons - vibrant reds, deep oranges, warm yellows and soothing greens. These warms tones, plush furnishings and soothing amenities dot 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, pottery maker Miranda Thomas, artistic woodworker Parker Nichols, blacksmiths from Hubbardton Forge and several local painters, all of which enjoy a global following Artisan-Inspired Cuisine
