The Art of the Stay

One of the great joys of childhood is warming up with a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. As grownups, we may gravitate to more adult beverages, but that longing for a cozy drink still remains. Here are some of our favorite Hawkeye Bar & Grill cocktails to beat back the winter doldrums during a getaway to our upstate New York hotel.

Many of us circle Valentine’s Day on the calendar as a one day celebration, but why not take a few days to show that special someone that you care? Fill your romantic getaway with all the things you love, whether it’s getting outside for some hiking or cross-country skiing or staying cozy indoors with a glass of wine.

Cooperstown is four seasons of fun and relaxation, and now you can experience it year round at The Otesaga! For the first time in our history, we’re open throughout the winter and ready to welcome guests during our most serene season. If you’re ready for some downtime, our upstate New York hotel is the perfect place to enjoy getaways that will leave you rested and ready to take on the new year, with plenty of delicious dining to fuel the fun.

The holiday season is usually a time to gather your team together and celebrate the successes of another year. While 2020 presents new challenges to the annual holiday party, there are still ways to honor your employees’ hard work while staying safe and having fun. As everyone looks ahead to a brighter 2021, it’s important to take a moment to reward their effort, whether it’s an in-person, socially distanced event or a virtual get-together full of holiday spirit!

Exploring local flavor is one of the best parts of a visit to Upstate New York, and that includes the many wineries that are found in the nearby Finger Lakes region. With The Otesaga now open year-round, it’s the perfect time to plan your getaway and pair some of the great vintages of New York with the seasonal flavors of our Hawkeye Bar & Grill menu.

When we think of fall drinks, pumpkin spice lattes and hot cider usually come to mind. Fall flavors aren’t just for cafés, though, and we have the perfect seasonal cocktail for entertaining on those crisp evenings. Whether you’re joining us here at The Otesaga, or looking to recreate some of the magic of our upstate New York hotel at home, a Cooperstown Harvest is the ideal sip-worthy drink to put you in the mood for all things autumn.
