Lake Placid Lodge

We spent two snowy winter days before Christmas Eve and skated on the Olympic speed skating oval at night which made the trip. We stayed in a 2 bedroom and 1 bedroom cottage near the stairs leading to the lobby. We had lunch both days in Maggie’s which is very relaxing and comfortable sitting next to the fireplace. We ate in the wine cellar our last night which is the most unique dining experience ever. Raja professionally served us and made us feel like royalty surrounded by bottles of fine wine. There is a small shop in the lobby and the desk, housekeeping and maintenance crew where all over us. We ate at Jimmy’s on Main Street Lake Placid, a fun Italian restaurant, and it was snowing when we drove back to the cabins to start fires in the living rooms. Our family enjoyed long walks with our chocolate lab Stella in the fresh snow. It’s peaceful and quiet here with gorgeous views of Whiteface Mountain across the lake. Lake Placid is a quaint town with nice shops and the Olympic facilities are not to be missed. Until next Christmas….

Lake Placid Lodge is a special place, situated perfectly (and directly) on the lake. The décor is charming, the rooms are comfortable (the fireplace is a great touch) and the service is excellent. Special shout out to Gail, Sara and Jamielynn, who are very knowledgeable and made our stay more enjoyable. However, I do have some notes: - A resort / hotel of this caliber needs a spa and fitness center on site. They should not be sending guests to competitors such as Whiteface Lodge or Mirror Lake Inn for a spa, or to Adirondack Health Club for a workout. - Maggie's Pub should be open to the public. The food and drinks are very good, but there is no vibe - it has the atmosphere of an old age home. That said, my wife and I had a great time here and hope to return to Lake Placid Lodge.

Absolutely most attentive staff, delicious food, beautiful accommodations. Our dinner at Artisans restaurant out of this world!

We stayed in the Treetop room, and it was the most beautiful room we’ve ever stayed in! Everything was handmade made out of wood. The bathroom was amazing with a beautiful soaking tub and shower. We had a balcony with perfect sunrise views. Both restaurants were phenomenal. Definitely take the boat ride with John. He was entertaining and knowledgeable, and it was beautiful out on the lake. Highly recommend this hotel!

Absolutely lovely. We stayed in St. Regis room in main building, which had a perfect view, perfect space, and great amenities. Meals at Maggie’s and Artisan’s were top notch, and the cocktails were painstakingly created to perfection. The boat ride on Lake Placid was a fantastic way to show off the area. I like to walk and hike, and there were good opportunities walking distance from the front door. Can’t say enough. Note there is NO COMPARISON between this property and The Sagamore. We went from one to the other, much to our regret.
