Saratoga Arms, built in 1870, is a newly restored, award-winning Second Empire hotel located in the heart of Saratoga's downtown district.

After overseeing many extensive and some unexpected renovations, the Smith family reopened the establishment as a luxury inn in June of 1998. The building features restored plaster and tin ceilings, two grand staircases, ornate moldings and ceiling medallions. Blending historic charm with modern-day restoration, the inn now offers guests authentic elegance and well-appointed amenities ideal for travelers of business and leisure.

All 31 guest accommodations have private baths, several with original clawfoot tubs and some with double whirlpool tubs. Each shower has a hand-painted tile with an interesting Saratoga quote or fact, often a topic of conversation at the breakfast table. Unique decor in every chamber gives each room its own personality. Period antiques, family treasures, and custom accents make each accommodation and a one-of-a-kind creation that carries an elegant Saratoga style. High Speed Internet access is available.

The jewel of Saratoga Arms is the newly constructed wrap-around porch, which serves as a gathering place for guests and visitors. A collection of antique wicker extends an invitation to leisurely enjoy the activities of Broadway. The executive conference room offers meeting space with fully integrated audio/visual equipment. The entire hotel is WiFi and high speed Internet capable.

A full breakfast is available each morning in one of the dining areas. After your morning fare, you will want to visit the surrounding area, which gained early fame for its medicinal mineral springs in the 1700's, earning Saratoga the name "Queen of Spas". The town still has free-flowing drinking springs throughout the city and several hot spas for a bath, massage or sea wrap. Saratoga is also synonymous with horse racing, as the city boasts the oldest thoroughbred racetrack in America. The summer racing season, as well as the harness track and summer world championship polo, makes Saratoga the summer home to the who's who of horseracing.

Ballet, jazz, orchestras, and contemporary arts fill out the summer schedule of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, and the national and regional museums in the area are in themselves a reason to visit.

As a turning point in the Revolutionary War, The Battle of Saratoga is remembered at the Saratoga Historical Park, Saratoga Monument, Ulysses S. Grant Cottage and the Yaddo Estate.

Those who crave recreation will find golf, swimming and skiing within ten miles of the inn as well.

As if that doesn't give you enough to do and see, the Saratoga Arms is also within easy walking distance of shopping and restaurants, making this concierge hotel a memorable stay indeed.
