The King with Mountain View at Hotel St. Moritz, Lake Placid. The High Peaks framed from the bed, a blue upholstered frame, and a black-tiled bath.
This is a room that looks out. Depending on which side of the hall you are on, the windows hold Whiteface to the front or Algonquin and Street Mountain to the back, the same peaks that have drawn people to Lake Placid for a century. They sit framed in the window, changing with the weather and the light, in view from the bed. The marble washstand and the brushed brass are here too, but the mountains are what you will remember.
Behind the black tile, a walk-in rain shower; underfoot, red oak through the whole room. A room built to sit in and look out from.
