What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its stylish Scandinavian-meets-Japanese minimalist aesthetic is a welcome departure from the region’s more rustic, more familiar Adirondack lodges.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Main Street shops and the Olympic Center sit one block away along the edge of Mirror Lake.
The rooms
Minimalist woodwork and muted tones fill the rooms, and many open onto private balconies facing Mirror Lake.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Alpine Hall serves regional beers and craft cocktails along a timber bar, with seating in a glass-enclosed solarium.
How it began
A 2023 renovation reimagined the former Summit Hotel, paring back the dated interior into streamlined boutique spaces.
