The hotel’s most recent accolades include the coveted AAA/CAA Four Diamond Lodgings 2015, Fodor’s Choice award, Frommer’s Exceptional recognition, and being included in the 2014 Conde Nast Readers’ Choice and the 2015 Travel + Leisure 500 World’s Best Hotels lists. The massive island property off the shores of Lake George first opened in the late 1880s and has long been a favorite getaway for Manhattan’s elite. Today, it offers a wide variety of lodging options which include expensive suites and cabins as well as an array of lower-priced rooms decked out in well-preserved early 1900s architecture. While enjoying this Lake George favorite can cost dearly, especially where dining is concerned, it remains well-loved because it delivers services that are well worth every cent.
