LAKE PLACID, NY – Since its opening in June 2005, The Whiteface Lodge has offered visitors to Lake Placid a one-of-a-kind experience highlighted by superb accommodations and unparalleled amenities that showcase the best offerings of each season of the year.
An all-suite ‘Leading Hotel of the World’ and private residence club located in a woodland setting in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains, The Whiteface Lodge was inspired by the fabled Adirondack ‘Great Camps’ of an earlier age. Created from the majestic timbers of the region, the elegantly rustic lodge offers guests a classic luxury lifestyle experience combining the rustic grace of the Great Camp tradition with refined service and contemporary world-class resort amenities. “The Whiteface Lodge possesses a rare timeless appeal,” says Olivier Bottois, Chief Operating Officer of The Whiteface Lodge. “The property has a magnetic allure and distinctive sense of place due to the rich heritage of our locale and the exquisite manner in which those traditions are incorporated into every details of our guests’ stay.”
The Whiteface Lodge is the most significant development to open in Lake Placid since the city hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics. The Adirondack Regional Tourism Council honored The Whiteface Lodge with the Annual Private Sector Tourism Partnership award for the largest Adirondack tourism infrastructure investment in the last century.
