From the Mirror Lake Inn:
The number one resort in Lake Placid on TripAdvisor, has been named one of the 10 Most Beautiful Lakeside Hotels in the World by Conde Nast Traveler.
For more than three decades, the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa has been honored with AAA’s coveted Four Diamond Award of “Excellence”. Now it can include the 10 Most Beautiful Lakeside distinction bestowed by Conde Nast Traveler to its list of accolades as well.
“We are very grateful for this beautiful setting that we offer our guests,” said Mirror Lake Inn owner Ed Weibrecht. “Every guest room and all three of our restaurants overlook pristine Mirror Lake and the Adirondack High Peaks. However, it’s the quality of our staff that enhances this physical setting. Each employee goes the extra mile to make sure our guests feel special. We don’t take this natural beauty for granted, but it’s our staff that makes our lakeside house a home.”
The publication’s readers form the frontrunner of opinion in the luxury travel market. In addition to its place among the world’s most beautiful lakeside hotels, the magazine’s readers voted the Inn number one in New York State. One of the reasons for this lofty consideration is ownership’s philosophy of continually improving the upscale Adirondack property: most recently, the Mirror Lake Inn invested a total of $5 million in room and spa renovations.
The lakeside theme is embellished by the Inn’s private, sandy beach on Mirror Lake, featuring complimentary boats in a body of water where motorized vessels are prohibited.
“It’s the perfect mix of modern and rustic-chic,” remarked Conde Nast Traveler, “with expansive Mirror Lake views from every window, and hospitality to boot (guests get homemade chocolate-chip cookies upon check-in). Dining is impressive, too: its award-winning View restaurant serves excellent seasonal cuisine that’s sourced exclusively from local farmers and the resort’s own gardens.”
These accolades reflect the guest experience, and there, the Mirror Lake Inn never disappoints.

As for the Mirror Lake Inn’s natural setting, another travel site, OnlyInYourState.com, referred to the Adirondacks as providing no better place for a New York staycation, with the ability “to cure almost any problem in life.”
If such healing is needed, the Inn’s trio of culinary options has long been considered the finest in the mountains. The collection is led by the “The View” Restaurant, the area’s number one restaurant on TripAdvisor and Lake Placid’s lone AAA Four Diamond, “Exceptional” dining establishment. The View is accompanied by the adjacent and trendy Taste Bistro and Bar, and the hip Cottage Café which, literally, overhangs Mirror Lake.
