Exactly five months to the day after del Lago Resort & Casino opened its doors to the public, its highly anticipated hotel and Spa del Lago are set to open.
The hotel is now accepting reservations and the spa is accepting appointments for its opening day — July 1st and beyond. The hotel and spa are opening two weeks ahead of schedule.
“We were always hopeful that we could move the opening date up and we are excited to officially announce that our hotel and Spa del Lago will be open just in time for visitors to enjoy Fourth of July weekend with us,” Executive Vice President and General Manager Jeff Babinski said. “The addition of our hotel, spa, banquet facility and The Sociale Café & Bar reinforces that our property is a true world class destination in the region. We look forward to bringing in new guests to enjoy all that the Finger Lakes has to offer, especially this time of year.”
