Fort William Henry Hotel

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Fort William Henry! The room was spotless and very comfortable, providing the perfect home base for our trip. Our mountain view and fireplace in the room made it very comfy and memorable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially Amanda at check-in. The location was ideal, within walking distance for all the Winter Events. We especially loved the Super Bowl buffet and will definitely be back!"

Located in the heart of Lake George. Very touristy but beautiful area with lots to do year round. The hotel itself is more like a motel. Our room was in the wing off of the main building. We went to a wedding in the nearby carriage house . For the most part it was clean, definitely could do with some repairs. The beds were fairly comfortable, linens and pillows of average quality . Heater worked well and wasn’t too noisy. The bathroom however was freezing. Shower was ok. The floor was like a sheet of ice, I had to wear my boots while I dried my hair and did my face. They should provide a little space heater for the bathroom in the winter months. That being said I did not ask for one either. Bathroom door was basically a thick piece cardboard on sliding barn door hardware. Made things pretty uncomfortable as you could hear a pin drop through that door! You could also hear people in the bathroom behind ours….. very, very clearly. Happy that they were really enjoying themselves, just wasn’t crazy about listening to their joy over and over again. The staff were very nice. Wedding venue was lovely. In my opinion the rooms are overpriced considering what they are. Perhaps the rooms in the main building are nicer. Places like this, in this kind of area let quality slip down and keep prices up because they can. Location, Location, Location! Sad but true and they won’t even care about my review.

Simply the best place to stay in the region. Beautiful, immaculate building. Staff goes out of their way to make everything nice. You need to stay here!

I can’t speak for the main hotel but the additional hotel buildings stink. We thought we were getting a special room by paying extra for a lake view room but the room was a glorified motel room. Stucco walls and ceiling. The AC unit was not properly insulated and the room was freezing. There was a huge storm coming and we asked two days before our arrival if we could have a credit to reschedule because of the snow storm and they said no. So we went anyway thinking we’d weather the storm in a cozy room and enjoy the heated pool. But the pool is in the main hotel so we would have had to go outside in 5° weather and snow to walk to the pool and back. We wound up leaving early.

My husband and I needed a night away. We stayed lake side. The room was nice. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We even ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant on site. Meals were outstanding. The only down side I would have to say is that the indoor pool was too cold to go in. Other than that, My husband and I had a great stay.

It was very clean all the staff were very friendly and helpful it was a very enjoyable stay and experience I highly recommend fort William Henry hotel it was so relaxing and pleasant during my stay and the amenities were wonderful

We love visiting Lake George winter and summer. We have stayed at Fort William Henry many times over many years but had not been back for five years. Our recent visit was so nice and the staff could not be more pleasant. There is nothing like viewing the southern basin as ice begins to form while having breakfast in the dining room. The best view on the lake. Breakfasts were delicious and reasonably priced. Beds are comfortable and our lake view room was spotless and quiet. Hope to be back for carnival this year.

We stayed with a group of friends on NYE. The staff was so accommodating. Christine even put decorations in my friend's room for me who had just retired and the next morning at breakfast Theresa was very friendly serving my table even tho additional couples kept joining us and they clearly seemed understaffed.

My wife, toddler and I stayed overnight in the Grand Hotel in a room with a king size bed, sofa and whirlpool bathtub. I had won this stay with breakfast as part of a cool raffle basket they donated to a suicide prevention fundraiser which right away I looked up at a business supporting such an important cause. The hotel was very accommodating from checking if we needed a pack and play when I was making the reservation to telling us about lanterns incase power went out during the ice storm (it did not but that was great to know!).

Our stay at The Fort William Henry Hotel was fantastic! The views of Lake George are terrific and the rooms are well appointed. The beds were very comfortable and our room came with a fireplace, which made the room that much more toasty. Overall, this is one of the best properties in Lake George you could stay, and we won't hesitate to book this hotel again should we travel to this area of the state in the future.

My husband and I went for a weekend getaway and had such an amazing time. We almost booked an extra night but decided to plan for our anniversary to come back. The staff was awesome and everything was meticulous. Thank you again for an amazing first visit.

I really liked the hotel, we went for the weekend event - Lifting the Veil event with Psychic medium Tracy Fluty, Diane Foster, Melissa & Chrissy-all of who taught great sessions in the hotel’s special large room. The lunch was excellent as well. The dinners and breakfasts in the hotel dining room were very good and reasonably priced.

My room was very comfortable, and I liked that they came in and changed the towels and refilled the coffee for the next day. It’s hard to find that kind of service these days. I loved the fall decorations and lovely atmosphere of the whole hotel. The pool, hot tub and sauna were greatly appreciated. Then being able to go to the fort and do the ghost tours on Halloween was super cool. We saw some very good pictures with orbs.. or who knows what. The Paranormal set-up was truly AMAZING- Ray & Kira from Other Worlds Energy Lab really adding to the event.

Thank you

I love almost everything about this hotel. Great grounds, great location, great restaurant, great bar, and the staff is fantastic. Maintenance issues seem to be the only problem. Last year when I stayed, the hot tub didn't work. I was there last weekend. I booked a room with a whirlpool tub.... that didn't work.

Our visit to the Fort Henry William Hotel was just perfect! We were there for an event and had a relaxing time. The room was lovely. The food provided for the event was delicious. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and really, really nice!

allergy friendly, great food, friendly staff, beautiful out door area clean all over. open all year round, great for going in a party or even by yourself

My family and I stayed here for our weekend getaway. The view of the lake from our room was amazing and we could walk over to the Fort William entrance easily for the haunted ghost tour. The room was clean and the front desk team were very friendly. The food at the hotel restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. The only complaint was that the beds were extremely firm, which made it hard to sleep since we're used to memory foam mattresses. The shower head had a strong pressure, which felt great. I would stay here again.

We had an amazing time at the Fort William Henry hotel! The staff was super friendly and helpful. We ordered room service the first night because we got there a bit late. The lake view was incredible, and the food was delicious. The room service was also very friendly and accommodating.
The sunrise's from our room were breathtaking! The only thing that surprised me was the fire pits and how they’re set up. There are limited times and additional charges for using them. But overall, it was a wonderful stay!

Excellent location. Atmosphere quaint. Room view was spectacular. Curtains and windows need to be replaced. Curtains also need tie backs as they block part of the view. Value was excellent. Room was very clean and relaxing. Noise level was low. Service was excellent.

Perfect spot on Lake George! The best view, whether from our room, the lobby, the lawn or the restaurant! Food in the restaurant was delicious and we ate both dinner and breakfast there. There are two square tables in the lobby perfect for playing cards or games with friends & family, as well as several cozy spots to chat and a fireplace. Just outside was a beautiful patio with lots of Adirondack-style chairs for gazing at the lake with a cup of coffee or a drink from the bar. Our room was a double- double w/jetted tub(waste of space but ok) lake view and was clean and comfortable! We can’t wait to go back!

I love the FWH Hotel. I love that it's a historic building that is independently owned and run with great service. And the location is amazing. Ask for a lake view room!
