Lakeside alpine lodge

“Comfort and athleticism are both the focus at Nita Lake Lodge, located on the shores of the glacier-fed Lake Placid.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, AFAR and Tatler.
The look is contemporary, a little bit minimalist-chic, but still warm and inviting, in earth tones and natural wood and stone.
“each of the lodge’s 77 rooms evokes a feeling of calm with dark wood, creamy linens, leather upholstery, and rock-faced fireplaces; all feature kitchenettes, two-person soaker tubs, and lake or mountain views.”
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked into quiet Creekside along the Valley Trail, the lodge sits steps from the gondola and five minutes from Whistler Village.
The rooms
Suites feature basalt gas fireplaces, geothermally heated floors, and spa-inspired bathrooms with deep double soaker tubs overlooking the forest or lake.
Pool and yoga garden
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor plunge pool sits surrounded by snowdrifts, and yoga classes gather in the pine-shaded garden.
Rooftop hot tubs
Rooftop hot tubs look out toward the mountains, and a mist-filled eucalyptus steam room sits nearby.
The spa
Treatments include Kundalini massage with sound therapy, and elevated pedicure chairs sit against an illuminated live-edge timber wall.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Den
Dishes draw on Pacific Northwest foraging and herbs from the rooftop garden, served beside an illuminated wine wall.
Comfort is paramount here: double-soaker tubs, basalt-rock fireplaces, and heated floors offer an intimate counterpoint to sporty Whistler.
Bar
Lakeside Lounge
Lakeside tables overlook the water for oyster platters and craft cocktails shaken at the backlit wooden bar.
At the table
Fix Café serves barista espresso and fresh-baked cinnamon buns each morning, with plant-based smoothies for the trail.
