Mirror Lake Inn

Mirror Lake Inn has operated on the shores of Mirror Lake in Lake Placid since 1924 — predating both the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics that made the village internationally famous. The resort's Placid Spa overlooks the lake and offers dry sauna, steam, and a full range of body treatments, complemented by private beach access and a winter ice skating loop around Mirror Lake. The inn's Colonial-style architecture and hand-hewn log interiors have made it a regional institution for generations of Adirondack visitors. Lake Placid's concentration of Olympic training facilities, Nordic skiing venues, and mountain culture gives the Mirror Lake Inn location a depth of context rare in American resort destinations.
