Vintage promotional travel brochure for Sunset Hill House, the famous skyline resort at Sugar Hill, New Hampshire in the White Mountains of the United States.
Front cover design features the Sunset Hill House script logo in white on a deep red panel with the heading "The Famous Skyline Resort at Sugar Hill, New Hampshire" above a full-color photograph of the large white inn. A curved red banner along the bottom carries the slogans "Above the fog-line" and "In the beautiful White Mountains."
When partially opened, the exterior panels expand the cover image with a color photograph of wooded mountain slopes in autumn and a small inset driving map of New England locating Sunset Hill House in northern New Hampshire in relation to Canada, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Boston, New York, and Montreal.
The reverse exterior spread combines the front cover imagery with additional color photographs showing winter snow scenes, the surrounding landscape, and the inn's golf course under the heading "Year Round Activities." A graphic burst at the lower right reads "Golf for Everyone" beside a panoramic view of the fairway and clubhouse.
The "Year Round Activities" text block highlights amenities such as a nine-hole golf course, tennis court, putting green, croquet, shuffleboard, swimming pool, gift shop, beauty parlor, cross-country ski shop, and a variety of winter sports including tobogganing, sliding, snowshoeing, hay rides, and sugaring-off party entertainment.
Interior panels present multiple color photographs of the guest rooms, parlor, dining room, and bar areas arranged in curved picture bands around a central yellow circle headed "Where Guests Return... Again and Again." The images emphasize traditional New England décor with patterned wallpapers, four-poster beds, white wicker furniture, and formal table-service dining.
Promotional text inside describes Sunset Hill House as a favorite vacation choice set amid the Presidential and Franconia ranges of the White Mountains, noting home-style meals, mountain vistas, comfortable rooms, and a welcoming parlor coffee cart. Additional copy outlines the appeal of visits in spring, summer, autumn foliage season, and winter ski weekends at nearby ski areas.
