Built in 1909, The Otesaga Resort Hotel is one of the most iconic resorts on the East Coast. Located in Cooperstown, New York, it is a member of the Historic Hotels of America and a consistent recipient of the esteemed AAA Four Diamond Award.

The hotel welcomes travelers from all over the region (and beyond)—families included—with luxuriously appointed guestrooms (many with views of Lake Otsego), a heated outdoor pool, kayak and bike rentals, golf, onsite dining and most importantly, a location close to the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and Dreams Park, where kids from across the country come to play baseball with their teams each summer.

The Otesaga Resort Hotel offers several variations of accommodations. All accommodations are luxuriously appointed and equipped with the following amenities: cozy bathrobes, Egyptian cotton towels, signature bath products, mini-fridges, gourmet coffeemakers, microwaves, complimentary bottled water, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi.

Guestrooms are best for families, while suites are better for couples (perhaps grandparents traveling with extended family).

The Best Time to Visit
The most popular time to visit Cooperstown is the summer, when many kids and families come to play baseball with their teams at Dreams Park or attend Hall of Fame Weekend at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. If you want to avoid the crowds, plan a visit in May or September.

Getting There
The closest major airport to Cooperstown is Albany International Airport; however, there is limited service in and out of this airport. If flying to Cooperstown, also check Syracuse Hancock International Airport and Boston Logan International Airport.

Getting Around
Once at the resort, it's easy to get to most attractions by foot; the downtown area (where the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is located) is a five-minute walk or bike ride away.

For Parents

• Fire Bar
  Head to the Fire Bar (a circular bar with a fire pit in the middle) for happy hour cocktails or a nightcap.
• 1909
  Opened in 2019, 1909 is named for the year The Otesaga Resort Hotel opened. This fine-dining restaurant's specialty is steak, but everything on the menu is out-of-this-world good.
