Hotels in Lake Placid

Dubbed 'America's Most Interesting Town' by Reader's Digest, this quirky Florida hamlet reveals its personality through 47 vibrant murals adorning downtown buildings. Earn bragging rights by climbing the Lake Placid Tower for panoramic views that explain why locals never leave. Kayak Lake June-in-Winter where alligators sun themselves with prehistoric nonchalance while rare birds pretend not to notice your camera. The town proudly calls itself the 'Caladium Capital of the World' – 98 percent of global production happens right here on 14 farms. Visit the American Clown Museum & School, possibly the only institution where graduates are expected to make a spectacle of themselves. Golf courses abound for those who prefer manicured greens to wild Florida landscapes.
