Balanced on the edge of village and forest, Lake Placid Lodge is a Great Camp for the new century and the only hotel located directly on the shores of Lake Placid. Its beams are hewn by hand, its rooms filled with art and antiques, with beds carved by local artisans and 50 stone fireplaces laid piece-by-piece by Adirondack masons. Lake Placid Lodge features 30 luxury accommodations, including 17 free-standing private cabins. There are two restaurants including the acclaimed Artisans Restaurant as well as Maggie’s, a casual classic, wood-paneled pub serving hearty food and creative cocktails. It is a personal retreat, as rustic and splendid as the Great Camps from the Gilded Age. Lake Placid Lodge is a proud member of Relais & Châteaux and the OPAL Collection, both exclusive arbitrators of luxury hotels and resorts.
Accommodations
Set among lush woods in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, our Lake Placid lodging offers the perfect complement to the hotel’s idyllic surroundings. Private, warm and comfortable, guest rooms and cabins are tucked beneath high swaying trees, truly providing a camp of one’s own. Each space is thoughtfully-appointed with soft fabrics, polished wood, stone fireplaces with stacks of logs and a hand-built, cloud-soft bed. Guests will also enjoy majestic views of the wilderness from diamond paned windows, while relaxing by the fire. At the Lodge, all of the luxurious Lake Placid accommodations are individually designed with no two exactly alike.
There are 30 guest accommodations at Lake Placid Lodge, five in the Main Lodge, 17 cabins on the shore of the lake, six suites in the Lakeside Building, and two cottages, Pine and Birch, that overlook the lake and are just steps from the Main Lodge.
Dining
Dining at Lake Placid Lodge delights the senses with its elegant ambiance, gracious service and exceptional Farm-to-Table cuisine that celebrates the culinary culture of the Adirondacks. Start the day with the lodge’s famous Lodge Breakfast at Artisans, mingle with friends old and new in Maggie’s Pub, or indulge in an exclusive private dining experience in the famed Wine Cellar. Executive Chef Derek Leinonen’s seasonally-driven menus highlight the bounty of the Adirondacks with house-made ingredients, as well as local produce.
Activities
There are an abundance of activities to enjoy in and around Lake Placid Lodge, though it’s perfectly alright to do nothing at all. Shady forests beckon, clear streams tumble along, and pristine trails meander toward the sky. The Adirondack Park has 46 mountains over 4,000 feet high, 3,000 lakes and ponds and 30,000 miles of river and stream to explore. However, napping in the lean-to is another long-standing Adirondack tradition. Whether one prefers to curl up in front of a fireplace and take on the challenge of a handcrafted Stave puzzle or hike one of the ancient Adirondack trails, each season offers an array of options for a Lake Placid vacation.
Weddings
Nestled along the idyllic shores of Lake Placid, a wedding at the Lodge is the event of a lifetime. This romantic retreat celebrates the ancient beauty of the Adirondacks while providing unmatched service for a destination wedding. The rooms spill over with music, firelight, dancing and flowers. The peace of the North Woods blesses the ceremony and all who attend it.
The staff at Lake Placid Lodge will help orchestrate every detail of a Lake Placid wedding, including picking the perfect venue as well as customized Farm-to-Table menus. The staff are experts at arranging a few private moments for the bride and groom in a chauffeured, beribboned Hacker-Craft, or a lively reception entrance complete with a bluegrass band. Whether the bride envisions the bridal party arriving on ice skates over the frozen lake or departing by horse-drawn sleigh, Lake Placid Lodge will infuse each wedding celebration with the distinctive details that reflect each couple’s unique wedding vision.

Lake Placid Lodge in the Adirondacks is delighted to welcome furry canine companions. Guests bringing their dog will be charged a non-refundable fee of $75 per night, per dog. Upon arrival at the resort, we will set your furry friend up with a gift bag outfitted with waste bags and dental stick treats at no additional charge to ensure Fido has everything he needs for a chic stay! Dogs are allowed only in select cabins, and each cabin can accommodate up to two dogs. Dogs must be on a leash at all times if outside the cabin, and are not permitted inside the Main Lodge. Dogs left in a cabin unattended must be securely crated for the safety of our housekeeping staff. If your dog has a tendency to bark in your absence, we request that your dog not be left alone. We must request your strict adherence to these guidelines in order to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all guests and staff. Since you get to enjoy gourmet meals at our restaurants and the sweetest of dreams in our plush beds, we thought why can’t Fido enjoy the same?! Guests bringing canine companions will also be outfitted with a plush Opal Paws dog mat and food and water bowls to ensure your dog’s vacation is as great as yours.
