Places to Stay in New York

Set on 30 secluded wooded acres a half-mile from downtown Lake Placid, The Whiteface Lodge is an all-suite Adirondack resort built in the tradition of the region's Gilded Age Great Camps, with timber framing, stone fireplaces and handcrafted interiors. Wellness centers on the 5,700-square-foot Spa at Whiteface Lodge, ranked among Conde Nast Traveler's Top 100 Spas in North America, which pairs massage, skin care and salon services with cedar saunas, steam rooms, separate men's and women's sanctuaries and a 24-hour fitness center; yoga classes are offered through the resort's Summit Wellness program. Other facilities include a heated indoor-outdoor pool, hot tubs, a private movie theater, bowling alley, game room and the Kanu restaurant. Guests reach the shoreline of Lake Placid through the resort's private Canoe Club, and the Olympic Center, Whiteface Mountain and High Falls Gorge are all short drives away.
