Hotel of the week
The Lake House on Canandaigua
There’s finally “a pilgrimageworthy hotel” in the Finger Lakes, said Paul Brady in Travel + Leisure. The “supremely stylish” new resort that opened last summer in the heart of New York state’s wine country “feels like a supersized vacation home.” The 125 guest rooms “have just enough nautical inspiration,” and the yard, pool, and boathouse are perfect for creating new summer traditions. The dockside bar serves local craft beers and lobster mac and cheese. But “the best reason to stay may be the simplest: to wake up with a view of the lake and to wander down, barefoot, for a swim.” lakehousecanandaigua.com; doubles from $241
