Located at 60 Lake Street in the historic Village of Cooperstown, N.Y., about 60 miles from Albany, the resort is a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Having completed a $34 million renovation The Otesaga celebrates its 94th season looking more distinguished than ever. The Otesaga recently received the coveted AAA Four Diamond Award for providing exceptional accommodations, excellent service and an elegant atmosphere. The hotel opens its doors for the season in mid-April, and closes for the winter in late November.

With over 13,000 square feet of versatile meeting space, The Otesaga is the perfect venue for corporate gatherings, conferences and incentives, while private dinners and banquets can be arranged in various settings within the hotel. Meetings planners may choose from 13 conference and banquet rooms, ranging in size from the charming, 12 person Pathfinder Room for breakout meetings to the

2,625 square foot Main Dining Room, ideal for formal dinners for up to 300.

The Otesaga blends perfectly with the Village of Cooperstown, which offers one-of-a-kind attractions such as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Fenimore Art Museum and The Farmers’ Museum, all of which may be used in conjunction with group events held at The Otesaga.

To offset the intellectual demands of conference sessions, The Otesaga offers an array of sports and recreational facilities, including the Leatherstocking Golf Course, a par 72 championship course. The Otesaga was voted one of the 50 top golf resorts in the U.S. by readers of Condé Nast Traveler. The 18 hole course boasts a new 11 acre driving range and professional instruction by Ron Philo Sr., winner of a "Teacher of the Year" award in the Northeastern New York PGA section. Meeting attendees can take part in a golf tournament,

skeet-shooting competition or a fishing tour in their leisure time. Other recreational activities include pool or lake swimming, tennis and canoeing on Lake Otsego.

Operating on the American Plan, the hotel handles all catering operations for groups. The Otesaga’s Main Dining Room serves grand buffet breakfasts and lunches, as well as a five-course dinner, the latter requiring a jacket for gentlemen in the evening.

The Otesaga’s veranda overlooking Lake Otsego provides the perfect setting for sunset cocktails or a reception prior to dinner. For less formal yet intimate dining, there is the Hawkeye Bar & Grill, serving fine American fare. Guests may also enjoy dancing to live music in the Templeton Lounge, available for private functions.

Amenities in The Otesaga’s newly re-furbished guest rooms include remote controlled cable television with HBO, telephones with voicemail and data ports, irons and ironing boards, hair dryers, toiletries and Egyptian cotton towels.
