A wellness getaway does not have to begin with a strict schedule. Sometimes, it begins by simply turning off the alarm and giving yourself permission to slow down.
Let breakfast linger a little longer. Step outside because the crisp mountain air feels too good to miss. Spend the afternoon hiking, biking, boating, or wandering along peaceful nature trails, then trade your itinerary for a massage, a quiet steam, and an evening with nowhere else you need to be. Surrounded by the lakes and forests of the Adirondacks, Saranac Lake makes this kind of restorative escape feel effortless. Here, outdoor adventure and slower moments come together naturally, giving you the freedom to make each day as active-or as relaxed-as you like.
Hotel Saranac’s Escape to Serenity package makes it even easier to settle into that slower rhythm. Stay in a spacious Great Camp Suite and enjoy a full spa day pass at Ampersand Spa, including access to the relaxation lounge and steam room for the duration of your stay. Some places ask you to stay. Hotel Saranac invites you to exhale.
What’s Included:
- Great Camp Suite accommodations

The Adirondacks are waiting. Book your Escape to Serenity getaway and give yourself a little more space to breathe.
Let the Morning Begin on Its Own
The first luxury of a wellness escape can simply be time.
There is no need to wake before sunrise unless that is genuinely how you want the day to begin. Stay under the covers a little longer in our rooms, take your time getting ready, and resist the urge to turn the morning into a packed itinerary.
Hotel Saranac’s guestrooms combine modern comforts with custom furnishings and Adirondack-inspired details, creating a setting that feels connected to the surrounding region even during quieter moments indoors.
The Saranac Lake Riverwalk offers an easy option close to downtown. The brick-paved route follows the Saranac River for approximately one mile round trip, passing bridges and providing convenient access to the village’s historic center.
Just the sound of the water, the fresh mountain air, and the freedom to let the morning move at its own pace.
Choose Movement That Feels Restorative
Around Saranac Lake, hiking opportunities range from gently meandering paths and peaceful lakeside routes to more ambitious mountain trails. With hundreds of miles of trails throughout the surrounding region, it is easy to choose an outdoor experience that suits your energy rather than feeling obligated to tackle the biggest challenge.
Some mornings might call for a longer hike through the Adirondacks. Others might be better spent enjoying a leisurely nature walk, finding a quiet park, biking through the area, or taking another peaceful stroll beside the river. This freedom is part of what makes a restorative trip feel different.
Make the Spa the Main Event
After a morning outdoors, allow the pace to slow even further at Ampersand Spa.
Inspired by Saranac Lake’s longstanding connection to rest and renewal, Ampersand Spa offers personalized massages, facials, and body treatments designed around individual needs and preferences. Instead of squeezing a spa treatment between sightseeing and dinner, let it become the afternoon.
Choose a massage after a morning of hiking or walking. Book a radiance-focused facial simply because you finally have the time. Then settle into the tranquil relaxation lounge and give yourself permission to stay awhile rather than immediately reaching for the next item on the itinerary.
For an even more restorative stay, book a facial or treatment and spend some time unwinding in the tranquil relaxation lounge. Best of all, light refreshments are also available as part of the post-treatment experience.
Return to the Room Before Going Anywhere Else
After the spa, retreat to the comfort of your room and keep the relaxation going. Curl up with a good book, sink into the cozy bed for an afternoon nap, put your phone away, and simply enjoy the quiet. At Hotel Saranac, the comfortable rooms make it easy to slow down, switch off, and let an hour pass without feeling like it needs to be filled or documented.
Hotel Saranac’s location in the heart of the village places shopping, dining, hiking, biking, boating, and other outdoor experiences close by, so you do not have to spend your entire getaway traveling from one activity to another.
Let Dinner Be Easy
Campfire Adirondack Grill + Bar offers a relaxed on-site dining experience without requiring you to leave the hotel. With regionally inspired food that celebrates the Adirondack setting, dinner can feel connected to the destination while keeping the evening relaxed.
Stay for a drink in the Great Hall Bar, or simply head upstairs when you are ready to end the night.
Take a Different Kind of Adirondack Vacation
The Adirondacks are known for adventure and for good reason. Hiking, biking, boating, mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes make it easy to fill every day with something new.
Space for an unhurried walk beside the river, an afternoon massage at Ampersand Spa, or a morning coffee enjoyed a little longer than usual. Space to experience nature without measuring how far you walked or how high you climbed, and space to simply return to your room when nowhere else needs to be checked off.
With Ampersand Spa, comfortable accommodations, on-site dining, and the outdoor experiences of Saranac Lake and the Adirondacks just beyond the doors, Hotel Saranac makes it easy to build a getaway around restoration rather than rushing.
Come for the mountain air. Stay for the spa, the stillness, and the feeling of finally having nowhere else you need to be.
