Lake George Courtyard by Marriott, the first six-story structure in the Village of Lake George, opened its doors in late August.<\/p>\n

At 365 Canada Street, nestled between Mountain Drive and Amherst Street, hotel officials say it is poised to “transform the iconic summer destination into a year-round retreat for both leisure and business.”<\/p>\n

“The hotel has been full since we opened,” said Taylor Hall, general manager. “And bookings are strong, which is good news. We are busier than anticipated. As with any hotel opening, we are working out the kinks.”<\/p>\n

“The hotel will give travelers a unique stay and experience,” said Michael Consuelo, executive director of the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce. “We are looking forward to the completion of the meeting spaces. We have already had several meeting planners inquiring about the new space here. It’s another add-on to our meeting and convention market.”<\/p>\n

Hall said staff is busy are putting together fall foliage and romance packages.<\/p>\n

“We are operating as a full-service resort,” Hall said. “The Bistro is open nightly and operates with a full-service bar with custom cocktails. We also have a ‘window front,’ a light-fare restaurant for customers walking by, where they can order a pick-up meal.”<\/p>\n

She said The Bistro is larger than most at Courtyard hotels, and will operate as a full-service restaurant. There is a Starbucks located within the hotel and it is “extremely busy.”
\nThe 119-room hotel with 60 suites, is adjacent to Lake George School and three village restaurants. Each guest room features two king-sized beds in a spaces from 400 to 450 square feet. The rooms offer views of either the lake or the Adirondack mountains.<\/p>\n

The hotel also has a work area, complete with complimentary high-speed internet, an ergonomic chair, 48-inch television, safe deposit box and mini-bar.<\/p>\n

Room prices during peak season range from $229 to $289 per night; off season could tether around $139 per night, with suite rates higher.<\/p>\n

The two-night fall packages include a steamboat cruise, apple-picking excursion and complimentary appetizer in The Bistro. The romance packages will offer dinner for two, breakfast in The Bistro and champagne on ice, upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Lake George Courtyard presently employs 35, but Hall expects hiring 45 more with the opening of two 5,000-square-foot ballrooms and a rooftop terrace. She said the ballrooms can host up to 400 guests for weddings, social and business gatherings and should be open by March 2017.<\/p>\n

The terrace, with fire pits and water views, is suitable for cocktail parties and small events should be open in October.
\n“We look forward to opening the ballrooms and terrace to help set the tone for what Lake George can be year-round,” Hall added.<\/p>\n

The $26 million hotel, with its Adirondack-style entrance and balconies, gives way to a chromed and glass contemporary lobby with regional accents.<\/p>\n

“Outside is purely Adirondack, but you step inside, and the hotel is totally modern, with chrome furnishings and fixtures, but also Adirondack accents,” said Consuelo.<\/p>\n

After five years of planning, developer David Kenny and his business partner, Frank Dittrich, worked with the town and village of Lake George to design a structure that would compliment the character of the village. The project required a change in zoning because of its height. A classic Adirondack design with timber and stone, were agreed upon.<\/p>\n

About 100 people, including village and chamber officials, attended a grand opening on Aug. 29. They toured the lobby and reception area, guest rooms, gathering areas, the exercise room, indoor pool, The Bistro restaurant and lobby bar, and the Starbucks coffee shop.<\/p>\n

Courtyard by Marriott International has more than 1,000 locations in 38 countries, with headquarters in Bethesda, Md., managed by Urgo Resorts & Hotels.<\/p>\n

The Lake George location is one of eight hotels opening this year. Six others are presently in the pre-construction phase.<\/p>\n

Urgo Hotels & Resorts develops owns and\/or operates hotels and resorts in major markets and resort locations in the U.S., Canada and in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
