The interior is a luxurious take on rustic Americana, with warm colors and traditional furnishings dressed up with plaids and animal prints. The lodge features two restaurants: a casual pub where you can sip a hot toddy while playing a game of chess, and an upscale dining room, Artisans, which serves takes on fresh, organic American cuisine.

Hotels Own Introduction
Rustic Luxury, Adirondack Style
At Lake Placid Lodge, each of our 30 guest accommodations—whether a welcoming room, a romantic suite, or a secluded cabin—offers its own sense of place. Stone fireplaces, hand-carved wooden beds, and rich fabrics create a warm embrace from the moment you arrive. Private terraces frame sweeping views of the mountains and lake, while lakeside cottages place you just steps from the water.
Inspired by the Great Camps
Echoing the storied timber-and-stone Great Camps that once welcomed America’s Gilded Age families, Lake Placid Lodge was designed to blend seamlessly with its forested surroundings. The arts-and-crafts architecture, grand stone porches, and relaxed elegance pay homage to this tradition, while offering all the comforts of a Relais & Châteaux retreat.
A Culinary Celebration
Dining at the lodge is shaped by the bounty of the Adirondacks. Our executive chef works with the region’s finest farmers and purveyors to create dishes that elevate every occasion, from casual gatherings to elegant evenings. Enjoy refined lakeside dining at Artisans Restaurant, the convivial charm of Maggie’s Pub, or an intimate dinner in our wine cellar.
An Outdoor-Lover’s Dream
Surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine woodlands, Lake Placid Lodge offers direct access to world-class hiking, boating, skiing, and fishing. After a day outdoors, return to evenings spent boating on the lake, playing lawn games, or simply sinking into an Adirondack chair with a cocktail, watching the sun fade behind Whiteface Mountain.
