Whiteface Lodge.

Whiteface Inn Lane in Lake Placid, set in the woodlands of the High Peaks region. Whiteface Lodge evokes the Gilded Age of the original Adirondack Great Camps through its rustic timber design. A short walk from the village, the lodge offers a sense of secluded grandeur within the six million acres of Adirondack Park.

Lodging is exclusively suites. Each features a full kitchen and private cedar-and-mahogany balconies looking onto the park. The range runs from one-bedroom suites to a Presidential Suite sleeping 6 to 12, making the lodge a working option for multi-generational families, wedding parties, and corporate retreats.

The KANU Dining Room is the culinary signature, celebrated as one of Lake Placid's premier dining destinations, with carefully prepared three-course meals and an extensive wine list. The spa is recognized by Conde Nast Traveler among North America's Top 100, with massage, facials, salon treatments, plus yoga and exercise classes. Recreation includes tennis courts, year-round pools, a winter ice skating rink, and Lake Placid access for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding in summer. The indoor program covers a game room, movie theater, bowling alley, and extensive kids' programming.

Best for multi-generational families running an active retreat, wellness-focused couples, and wedding or event groups. Open year-round, closing only for a brief mid-April spring cleaning.
