The Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa

Family-owned for 85 years and awarded a Michelin Key in 2024, Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa sits on the western shore of Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, New York.

The Adirondack setting, a salt-therapy spa, and a 60-foot indoor pool round out a property that operates in the quieter tier of American mountain resort hospitality.
