The Whiteface Lodge

Tucked into the woodland edge of Lake Placid in the Adirondacks’ High Peaks, this mountain beach resort sits minutes from Mirror Lake and Boots and Birdies. Whiteface Mountain, the Lake Placid Center for the Arts and the Olympic Center are all within easy reach, making it a top pick for family-friendly outdoor escapes.

Evoking Gilded‑Age Adirondack Great Camps, the lodge uses rustic timber design and cozy, upscale touches. About 94–96 guestrooms offer kitchenettes or full kitchens, private balconies or patios, flat-screen TVs and jetted bathtubs — cabin comfort with luxe finishes.

Pamper at the on-site spa, soak in three hot tubs, or take the complimentary beach shuttle to the private beach. The resort also has indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, sauna and steam rooms, bowling and an arcade/game room, a children’s play area and babysitting services. Free parking and valet are available.

Complimentary wired and wireless (high-speed) internet, a business center, conference facilities and meeting rooms. Limo/town car service and a computer station are also on-site, plus free valet parking.

On-site dining includes KANU, a coffee shop/café, a bar/lounge and a beach bar. 24-hour room service and snack options keep things easy after a day on the trails or slopes.
