Michelin Guide released the information recently, and now includes the resort on its roster of One Key lodging properties. There are just 207 such locales in the entire country and only nine in the state.

“Travelers worldwide have come to know Michelin Guide for their recognition of the best lodging properties,” said Ed Weibrecht, owner of the Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa. “Not only are we honored to receive the One Key distinction, but we look at this as recognition of our staff and the wonderful job they do in making our house feel like a home to thousands of people. I want to congratulate and thank every Mirror Lake Inn department for making this happen.”

“The culmination of countless hours of evaluation by our team of experts, the Key hotels represent the highlights of our broader selection,” according to the Michelin website. “Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels.”

Michelin considers properties that significantly add to the traveler’s experience. Each are vetted and judged excellent in five categories, according to the website: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, overall personality and character, value for the price and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.

Michelin’s summary of the Mirror Lake Inn says, “its atmosphere remains delightfully timeless, its comforts have been upgraded and the spa includes a salt-therapy room and a 60-foot indoor pool. The View is the higher-end of the two restaurants, while The Cottage Cafe does a fine apres-ski. This two-time Winter Olympics site excels at snow sports, but the Adirondacks are magical year-round.”
