Praise
In this bracket a spa is all but required, and the Whiteface doesn’t disappoint there — and the dining, naturally, is at the same high level, in the Kanu restaurant, one of Lake Placid’s top tables.

Hotels Own Introduction
Timeless Adirondack Splendor
Inspired by the rustic timber design of the region’s historic Great Camps, Whiteface Lodge sits tucked into the woodlands of the Adirondacks’ High Peaks in Upstate New York. Just a short walk from the Olympic village of Lake Placid—with its year-round attractions and storied past—the lodge is surrounded by six million acres of Adirondack Park, the largest protected natural area in the continental United States. This vast landscape provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, while the lodge’s array of amenities makes it one of the most captivating resorts in Lake Placid.
Luxury Meets Leisure
Spacious, elegantly appointed suites anchor the experience, but it’s the resort’s amenities that truly set Whiteface Lodge apart. The acclaimed Lake Placid spa, ranked among the Top 100 spas in North America by Condé Nast Traveler, offers restorative treatments from massages and facials to body rituals and nail services. Guests can further enhance wellness with yoga and fitness classes in the state-of-the-art fitness center.
Active Pursuits and Family Fun
For those seeking recreation, the lodge offers tennis courts, heated pools, and a winter ice-skating rink, along with easy access to Lake Placid for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding in the warmer months. Indoors, a private movie theater, bowling alley, and game room provide entertainment for all ages. Children’s programs are a highlight, with activities ranging from arts and crafts and scavenger hunts to obstacle courses and science experiments.
Culinary Excellence
Evenings are best spent at the renowned KANU Dining Room, one of Lake Placid’s most celebrated restaurants. Here, seasonal three-course menus, an impressive wine selection, and indulgent desserts ensure dining is as memorable as the setting itself.
