They
just don't make hotels like the Otesaga Resort Hotel anymore -- so
proud, solid in character and architecture, and full of dignity that is
yet accessible to all walks of life.
It
seems fitting that the Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown, NY, is a
member of the
prestigious Historic Hotels of America. With a look that turns more
heads than an L.A. fashion show, the Otesaga Resort Hotel is a stunning
piece of Federal hotel architecture -- in operation since 1909 -- with
its larger than life pillars, an elegant old-world interior with 135
renovated rooms and suites, and a charming, expansive veranda perfect
for viewing beautiful Otsego Lake, having dinner and drinks, and
watching and/or dancing to live entertainment. Additionally, a grand
main dining room, the more casual Hawkeye Grill, and a wonderful
outdoor summertime buffet provide perfect and diverse settings for the
wonderful selections of steak, seafood and chicken dishes, along with
an extensive wine list and fabulous desserts.
The
Otesaga Resort Hotel also offers the challenging and scenic
Leatherstocking Golf Course, tennis, a pool, lake swimming, canoeing, a
top-notch fitness facility and meeting rooms. It is an all inclusive
resort before that term became cool and trendy. There is nothing cool
and trendy, however, about the Otesaga. It is pure, old-time Americana,
yet with all the modern amenities that anyone could ever ask for.
We've
heard wonderful things about the accommodations and know first-hand
that the ambiance just from dining there, walking through the stately
lobby and hallways, and relaxing on the veranda creates lifetime
memories. We look forward to staying a few nights to capture the true
essence of an Otesaga Resort Hotel experience, one that so many people
throughout the years have enjoyed as an integral part of their visit to
Cooperstown.
