The Lake House on Canandaigua, a new Finger Lakes hotel created by the Sands Family, has officially opened its doors to guests following its first phase of development.

Designed by New-York based firm Studio Tack in collaboration with family-owned design house The Brooklyn Home Company, the hotel presents a residentially inspired and design-forward hospitality experience, creating a new destination for travellers seeking an active wellness retreat in western New York.

Following the announce of renowned spa partner Alexandra Soveral and the offering of sea plane transportation from New York City’s East River to Canandaigua Lake, the project has been a highly anticipated debut this year.

The property currently offers room availability to guests in its Main House with dining accommodations at the reimagined Sand Bar. Additional spaces at the hotel will open this autumn, including more guestrooms in the North and South Cottages, restaurant Rose Taver, the Event Barn, and The Lake House Spa by Soveral. The hotel will also comprise a pool and hot tub, gym and yoga room, library, meeting rooms, and a newly constructed 40-slip boat dock.

“Having grown up with Canandaigua Lake as my backyard, it is an honour to extend my home to our guests with The Lake House on Canandaigua,” comments co-developer Bill Caleo, a founder of The Brooklyn Home Company. “’Canandaigua’ translates to ‘the chosen place’, and we have selected the location that I. believe is the most beautiful in the world to open our hotel. We aim to revitalise travel to the Finger Lakes with this project, which will bring unprecedented quality and experiences to the area.”
