3-star hotels in Wilmington

This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels in Wilmington, a small Adirondack base for hiking, skiing and lake days. It suits couples, families and anyone on a short break who wants a straightforward place to stay near Whiteface.

14 hotels

Staying in Wilmington

Wilmington sits in the Adirondacks, with Whiteface Mountain and the Ausable River shaping what visitors do here: skiing in winter, hiking, fishing and paddling in the warmer months. The hotels on this list are clustered along the Route 86 corridor and the side roads just off it, which keeps them close to the mountain and the village.

The mix runs from classic inns and bed and breakfasts to self-contained cabins with kitchens and fireplaces. Most are set up for people who want to be outdoors all day and come back to a simple, comfortable room: families fit well in the family-room and cabin options, couples in the smaller inns, and business travellers will find free wifi and parking widely available. A short break works because everything is within a short drive of the mountain and the village.
