Hopkins Hospitality

The secret’s out: That picturesque conference center in Mt. Washington is not just for meetings. The center’s 48 hotel rooms and historic 1855 Octagon’s eight suites can be rented out for personal use. Last fall, COO Rich Grossi hosted out-of-town guests there for his daughter’s wedding. “I always thought Mt. Washington was beautiful for meetings, but I never knew I could entertain guests there,” he says. Guests enjoyed elaborate snacks after the wedding and reception and a Sunday brunch in the Octagon. Says Grossi: “My family can’t stop talking about it.”
