Sprinkled with mineral baths, Saratoga Springs has earned itself the nickname Spa City. For over two centuries, vacationers have been lured to this natural health retreat in New York State in pursuit of its curative waters. While some springs are housed within luxury spas, like the Lincoln and Roosevelt bath houses, others are free and public, inviting you to take a dip or a sip at a roadside spigot. When you’re done soaking, the Saratoga Race Course and Saratoga Performing Arts Center line up more entertainment. Ready to dive in? Here’s our selection of the best hotels in Saratoga Springs, New York, bookable with Culture Trip.

Want to stay inside Saratoga Spa State Park? This is your spot. A charming destination hotel, it pairs classic hospitality with upscale American dining at Putnam’s Restaurant – try the hand-cut NY striploin with blue cheese butter. The hotel is also home to one of the area’s oldest baths, the Roosevelt Baths and Spa, which opened in 1935 and offers revitalizing hydrotherapy spa journeys and natural healing treatments.
The Springwater B&B, for a taste of nostalgia
Bed and Breakfast

This family-run bed and breakfast revives turn-of-the-century Saratoga with boutique modern comforts – think ceiling fans and plantation style four posters combined with clawfoot jet tubs and walk-in showers. Accommodating staff and a location within walking distance of downtown are two more good reasons to stay. Lodging can also be found at the next door Springwater Inn, an historic, Victorian-era tavern, restaurant and lodging.
