The Lodge at Turning Stone Resort Casino
Upstate New York's answer to high-end Vegas hospitality
Situated in Upstate New York, halfway between Albany and Rochester, The Lodge at Turning Stone has it all. The massive resort is one of four hotels that make up Turning Stone Resort Casino. Perched on more than 3,400 acres, there’s plenty to do here.
The Lodge itself is a 95-room, all-suite gem that’s the latest hotel addition to Turning Stone. Its luxurious and sleek interiors are spacious (the smallest room is 550 square feet), and its location within the resort allows for a bit of privacy without being too far from all the fun.
Whether you’re a gambler, golfer, tennis pro or foodie, there’s something for you at Turning Stone. The resort features a 120,000-square-foot casino, but if you prefer to be active somewhere other than the blackjack table, you can hit one of the three championship golf courses.
After all that action, you’ll certainly need to decompress with a spa session. Luckily, Turning Stone features two, including the 33,000-square-foot Skana Spa within the Lodge.
