Top New York Romantic Inns and Hotels

Return to grandeur and romance at the Whiteface Lodge, a luxury mountain resort reminiscent of the “Great Camps” of the Adirondacks. A romantic escape to this authentic Lake Placid lodge is like stepping into a sepia-toned photograph and recapturing a moment in time.

You’ll relive the days of old—and create memories of your own—at Whiteface Lodge. Reconnect with a loved one during a couples massage in the lodge’s mountain-inspired spa. Start with a soothing soak in a tub for two with French Lavender bath salts, followed with side-by-side massages using a blend of peppermint and rosemary oils. We think the sweeping mountain views, best enjoyed from your in-suite Jacuzzi, and endless entertainment make the lodge’s two- and three-bedroom suites form the perfect destination for a cozy couples weekend. Rustic elegance is tempered with contemporary luxury in each mountain lodge suite. Kitchens with granite countertops and custom cabinetry, private balconies, jetted tubs, heated tile floors, cast iron gas fireplaces — the finest world-class accommodations for the truly discerning traveler. And it’s the only resort in the region to offer private jet service. You won’t want to leave, and with vacation home ownership options, the Whiteface Lodge makes this dream a reality.
