Introducing the Public House Hotel in North Creek

Welcome to the Public House Hotel, a reimagined gathering place in the center of North Creek. This historic property has welcomed travelers since the late 1800s, first as The American, later as The Copperfield Inn, then as The Phoenix Inn. Today, it enters a new chapter as part of the Weekender Hotels collection, blending the spirit of the Adirondacks with warm, modern design.

Opening for the winter 2026 season, the hotel features 31 refreshed guest rooms, two restaurants, multiple event spaces, and outdoor recreation that makes it easy to experience the mountains in every season.

A Fresh Take on a Historic North Creek Landmark

Public House Hotel sits along Main Street, just a few minutes from the base of Gore Mountain. The design keeps the character of the original structure while introducing natural textures, soft colors, and light-filled spaces. Guests can expect a relaxed Adirondack atmosphere that feels both familiar and new.

Key features include:

• Renovated guest rooms designed with simple, modern comfort
• A library for quiet reading or casual conversation
• Centennial Kitchen, a refined dining room with seasonal menus
• The Public House Lounge for small plates and cocktails
• A pool courtyard with a hot tub, surrounded by mountain air
• Tennis courts and a large fitness center coming online in 2026

What Makes the Location Special

North Creek is a small mountain town with year-round outdoor appeal. Winter travelers come for skiing, riding, and Nordic trails. In summer and fall, the area shifts toward hiking, paddling, fly fishing, and drives along quiet backroads lined with hardwood forests.

Nearby places guests often ask about include:

• The Hudson River and North Creek for guided rafting trips
• The Schaefer Trail and other Gore Mountain hiking routes
• The North Creek Depot Museum for local history
• The shops and cafes along Main Street within walking distance

Dining at the Public House Hotel

Centennial Kitchen brings a relaxed but thoughtful approach to dining, with an intimate private room and a seasonal patio that opens toward the mountains. The Public House Lounge offers a more casual setting suited for unplanned evenings, small bites, or a final drink after a day outside.

Both spaces were designed as natural gathering points rather than formal venues, making them easy for guests and locals to enjoy throughout the week.

Events, Weddings, and Group Retreats

Public House Hotel includes flexible rooms that comfortably host gatherings of many styles. The ballroom can accommodate weddings and receptions for up to 150 guests, and smaller meeting spaces are available for corporate groups looking for a scenic work setting.

What groups appreciate most is the mix of indoor comfort and outdoor access. Teams can move from morning sessions to afternoon hikes or a few hours at the pool without leaving the property for long.

Outdoor Recreation and Amenities

The hotel’s grounds will evolve throughout 2026, adding new ways to relax and explore between adventures. Planned amenities include:

• A seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub
• Tennis and pickleball courts
• A large fitness center designed for balanced workouts

For guests visiting specifically to ski or ride, the short drive to the Gore Mountain base area keeps winter trips simple and efficient.
