Built of stone, the first Summit House hotel was completed in 1852, and the second summit hotel, also constructed of stone, the Tip-Top House, was built in 1853. Mount Washington has a history of hotels. The project is in the early stages, and more information will become available as the Cog Railway goes through the permitting process. With the exception of the railroad, the new station and infrastructure to operate a hotel on Mount Washington will have to be built. If approved, this estimated $14 million dollar project could take up to 7 years to complete. And because the station isn’t on the actual summit of Mount Washington (6,288 feet), the Cog Railway will have a daily train dedicated to transporting passengers back and forth from the new station to the summit.
Some of the rail cars would be dining cars, and nine of them will be sleeper cars that can accommodate up to 70 guests. In the new proposal, 18 rail cars would be placed at 5,800 feet at a station from mid-May through mid-October. These accommodations would be built within this strip of land, below the summit. The Cog Railway owns a 99-foot-wide strip of land that straddles the railroad from the Cog Railway Station to the summit of Mount Washington.
However, this project is a little different than the 35-room hotel proposal he made a few years ago.
