Saratoga Springs Hotels: Where to Stay in New York

The best hotels in Saratoga Springs, New York, range from a grand 1877 Broadway landmark to a state park resort with a mineral spa. This guide lists the hotels, inns and motor lodges we could confirm from at least two sources. We dropped one property from the old version of this page because we could not find any trace of its lodging. We also flag places with thin or dated sources. Addresses and phone numbers come from the hotels, the Saratoga racing association and the local tourism bureau. Rates change with the racing calendar, so we quote none. Always call to confirm details before you book.

Hotels in Saratoga Springs NY: What We Could Confirm

Where to Stay in Saratoga Springs: Downtown Hotels

Most visitors pick a base on or near Broadway. Restaurants, shops and the city center sit close together there. The Saratoga Convention and Tourism Bureau lists several downtown hotels, and the Saratoga racing association lists three more near the track. The properties below appear in at least two independent sources.

The Adelphi Hotel

The Adelphi Hotel stands at 365 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. The phone number is 518-678-6000. The hotel opened in 1877 and the racing association calls the building one of the last grand Victorian hotels in downtown Saratoga Springs.

Boston.com says Richbell Capital bought the hotel in 2012 and closed the building for a four-year restoration. The racing association now describes a larger project with 65 guest rooms and suites, two restaurants, a salon and spa, a fitness center, a game room and a three-season outdoor pergola. The listing also mentions event space and 79 luxury condominiums. The 2017 article gave a smaller room count of 32, so the hotel grew after the first reopening. Ask the front desk for the current number of rooms.

Choose the Adelphi if you want a historic building with a central address and on-site dining. We did not confirm check-in or check-out times.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Saratoga Springs

Embassy Suites sits at 86 Congress Street, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. The phone number is 518-290-9090. The racing association describes a full-service hotel with two-room suites, a free cooked-to-order breakfast and a free evening reception. An atrium setting and the Diamond Club Restaurant serve lunch and dinner. The tourism bureau also lists the hotel as a suites property with daily breakfast included.

Families and small groups often like a separate living area. Pick this hotel if you want breakfast built into the stay. We did not confirm pool details or check-in times, so ask before you arrive.

The Saratoga Hilton

The Saratoga Hilton is attached to the Saratoga Springs City Center on Broadway. The tourism bureau calls the property the largest hotel in town. A venue listing describes 212 renovated boutique-style rooms and 30 suites, an on-site restaurant and lounge, an indoor heated pool, a fitness center and free Wi-Fi. The same listing says parking is on Maple Avenue.

Hotel trade press in 2016 said Driftwood Hospitality Management bought the property and the Hilton brand would stay in place. We could not load the official Hilton page, and we found no street number in the sources we could read. The hotel may use a different name on booking sites, so confirm the name and phone number before you reserve.

This is the hotel to consider for a conference at the City Center or a large group.

Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs

Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs is at 232 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. The phone number is 518-584-4550. The racing association says the hotel sits within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and the City Center, next to Congress Park. Listed amenities include a free local shuttle within five miles, free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a heated seasonal outdoor pool, year-round indoor pool access and free surface parking.

Frommer’s also lists a Holiday Inn at 232 Broadway and notes a pet-friendly policy. Pet rules change, so ask about fees and limits before you bring an animal.

This is a practical choice for families who want a pool and a free car park.

Hampton Inn and Suites Saratoga Springs Downtown

Lodging Magazine says DelMonte Hotel Group bought the Hampton Inn and Suites Saratoga Springs Downtown. The article describes 123 guest rooms across six stories, many with balconies over the Broadway District. Listed amenities include an indoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, guest laundry, free breakfast and free Wi-Fi. The building opened in 2008 and was renovated in 2019.

The same article places the hotel less than two miles from the Saratoga racetrack, Skidmore College and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. We could not confirm a street address from the sources we read. Look up the address on the Hilton site or call before you go.

Hotels in Saratoga Springs Near Saratoga Race Course

Race season changes everything in this town. The 2026 summer meet at Saratoga Race Course ran from July 3 to Labor Day, Monday, September 7, according to the Daily Gazette. Rooms fill early during those weeks. Some inns also ask for multi-night stays at peak times, according to Frommer’s. Dates for the next season come from the racing association, so check its calendar before you plan.

Union Gables Bed and Breakfast

Union Gables is at 55 Union Avenue, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. The tourism bureau describes a Queen Anne-style mansion in the historic district with in-room fireplaces, fresh breakfast and a heated outdoor pool. Expedia lists 12 rooms.

Expedia shows check-in from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. The property has no front desk, so guests must contact the inn at least 24 hours before arrival. Late arrivals after 7:00 PM need advance notice. The listing shows a seasonal outdoor pool from May 1 to September 30, free self parking, no elevator and a minimum check-in age of 21. Dogs are welcome for a stated fee per stay. Check the current fee with the inn.

Pick Union Gables for a quiet, historic stay on Union Avenue.

Gideon Putnam Resort and Spa

The Gideon Putnam is at 24 Gideon Putnam Road, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, inside Saratoga Spa State Park. The phone number is 866-890-1171. Delaware North runs the hotel for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The hotel opened in 1935.

A June 2025 announcement for the 90th anniversary said the hotel has 124 guest rooms, all renovated with new furniture. The same release lists Putnam’s Restaurant with a bar and patio, a free shuttle to Saratoga Race Course or downtown, a ballroom and meeting space, and a short walk to the Roosevelt Baths and Spa. The hotel site also lists a fitness center and more than 12,000 square feet of event space.

The shuttle ride to downtown takes about five minutes, according to the release. Guests also get access to state park golf, museums, outdoor pools and trails. The hotel closed in January 2018 after basement flooding and reopened after a renovation, according to Saratoga Living and Delaware North. The hotel is open now. We did not find check-in times, so ask when you book.

Pick the Gideon Putnam for a spa weekend or a quieter base away from Broadway.

Motels in Saratoga Springs and Other Budget Options

Saratoga Springs has fewer true motels than its size suggests. The tourism bureau lists one motor lodge, the Bluebird Spa City Motor Lodge. The listing describes 42 rooms on historic Broadway. We found no second source with a street address, so treat the details as unconfirmed and call before you plan around this property.

Frommer’s also lists The Inn at Saratoga at 231 Broadway, calling the building the oldest operating hotel in Saratoga, an 1880 Victorian. This guide is old, and we could not load a current official page. Confirm the inn still takes guests and ask about its room count.

The Springwater Bed and Breakfast, near the track, appears in the tourism bureau lists with cooked-to-order breakfast. Frommer’s lists the Brunswick B and B at 143 Union Avenue and Six Sisters B and B at 149 Union Avenue. Each has only older or single-source information, so call each one to confirm the business still operates.

For lower-cost stays during race season, compare chain hotels outside the downtown core. Frommer’s lists a Hilton Garden Inn at 125 South Broadway, and a commercial property listing also names a Hilton Garden Inn in Saratoga Springs. We did not confirm its current ownership or status. Use the Expedia link above to see which hotels still show open dates.

Inns and Bed and Breakfasts Worth a Call

The tourism bureau lists seven inns and bed and breakfasts. Each one rests on a single page, so call before you book. The list includes Anne’s Washington Inn, with 18 guest rooms on four acres. The list also includes the Surrey-Williamson Inn, a 19th-century manor near Skidmore College, and the Batcheller Mansion Inn, a Victorian mansion on Congress Park. Storybook Cottage on the Hudson sits just outside Saratoga Springs, and Rosa Rugosa Bed and Breakfast is a nature-oriented stay near hiking and the Performing Arts Center.

Hotels We Dropped From the Old Version

The earlier version of this page listed the Barnsider at Saratoga as a countryside log cabin retreat. We searched for lodging under the same name and found no hotel, inn or cabin listing for Saratoga Springs. We removed the property. If you know of a current booking page, tell us.

The earlier text also called the Saratoga Hilton a Victorian landmark with views of the race course. We could not support those claims, so we replaced them with sourced facts. We also removed claims about a heated mountain-view pool and a couples massage package at the Gideon Putnam, since no source we read listed them.

Getting to Saratoga Springs

Albany International Airport is the closest major airport, about a half-hour from town, according to Frommer’s. From the airport, take I-87 north to exit 13N, then follow Route 9 north into downtown. Taxis wait at the arrival gates.

Amtrak serves Saratoga Springs directly. The Adirondack runs daily from New York City and Montreal, and the Ethan Allen Express runs daily from New York City toward Vermont. The station is at West Avenue and Station Lane. This corrects the old FAQ answer, which sent train riders to Schenectady. Driving from New York City takes about three hours.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We confirmed addresses, phone numbers and amenities for the Adelphi, Embassy Suites, Holiday Inn and Gideon Putnam from two or more sources. We confirmed the Union Gables address and policies from Expedia and the tourism bureau. We could not load the official Hilton pages for the Saratoga Hilton or the Hampton Inn, so those two rest on trade press and venue listings. We confirmed no check-in or check-out times except at Union Gables. We quote no prices or distances beyond those stated in the sources. Call each property to confirm details.
