The Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown, N.Y. is a magnificent, Federal-style structure with an imposing front portico supported by massive 30-foot columns. Since 1909, it has served as the ideal accommodation to re-discover the natural beauty and unhurried pace of America s most perfect village. Guests of the Otesaga can choose from 135 recently refurbished rooms including 20 suites. In-room amenities include remote-controlled cable television with Hbo, telephones with voicemail, high-speed Internet access, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, toiletries and plenty of fluffy Egyptian-cotton towels. The Otesaga occupies 700 feet of lakefront on the southern shore of Lake Otsego, the famed ‘Glimmerglass’ of James Fenimore Cooper s novels. Selected as a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, The Otesaga is reminiscent of a more genteel era when a gracious welcome was the standard.
