Rooms & Rates
Overview
The number of accolades Mirror Lake Inn has raked in over the last few years is enviable. It's earned the AAA 4-Diamond award for 30 years, and it has been selected by Travel + Leisure as one of the world’s best hotels four times. The praise continues over at Conde Nast Traveler, where for two years in a row the magazine’s readers selected it as the top resort in the Northeast.
What’s all the fuss about? Let’s start with the location, on the shores of a mirror-calm lake in upstate New York’s beautiful Adirondacks. In the winter, nearby Whiteface Mountain is one of the Northeast’s most popular ski slopes, surely playing a part in getting the 1980 Winter Olympics to come to Lake Placid -- today the sports complex offers skiing, bobsledding and more. In summer, the resort has a private beach, boats and kayaks.
The resort welcomes guests with lobby fireplaces and free afternoon tea and cookies. Many rooms have traditional touches like four-poster beds, chandeliers and beamed ceilings, and all have big windows with lake and mountain views. The upgraded Lookout rooms are 415 square feet -- more space than some apartments -- and have sitting areas that can be closed off from the bed area, as well as wall-to-wall glass that includes French doors opening to fresh mountain air.
The resort sits on seven wooded acres but is only one block from Lake Placid’s Main Street, with wine-tasting rooms, restaurants and outdoor adventure outfitters. The resort also has three restaurants, which "plate the best food in the Adirondacks" (Conde Nast Traveler).
From
the press:
- “Sitting in the big, cozy chairs next to the fire is heaven, but the resort offers a slew of organized activities, too—sunset cruises, kayak and fishing trips, guided hikes, snowshoe outings, cross-country-skiing lessons, yoga classes” -- Fodor’s
- "Mirror Lake wrote the book on customer service. They welcome you back with open arms and treat you like family" -- Conde Nast Traveler

The heavenly view of the lake & mountains from our room. To wake up to that every morning and fall asleep to it every evening during our stay was just the icing on the cake.

We felt like royalty during our stay. Everything from the rooms & views to the ambience/atmosphere to the great staff/service were top notch. Although we didn't dine at any of the 3 restaurants (too expensive for us) we couldn't have asked for a better, more pleasant get-away experience. Thanks to TravelZoo for making it an affordable experience for us and thanks to Mirror Place in for a positive experience for my girlfriend and I. Will consider re-visiting & booking in the future.

Beautiful sunroom with comfortable seating and floor to ceiling doors that opened for fresh air ... the view of the lake and mountains changes with time of day and weather --wish we were still there.

Very special service for our anniversary celebration -- a welcome box of chocolates and also a complimentary bottle of champagne! Amazing how housekeeping brought our room back to perfection like invisible elves who knew exactly when we would be out for breakfast but disappeared before we came back! Couldn't have asked for more perfect weather, accommodation, service or food ... thank you for amazing memories.

We were fortunate to receive an upgraded room with a king bed and a terrific view. The front desk staff, particularly Meghan, couldn't be more welcoming. Meghan helped us map out a great tour of the area and the Olympic sites.
