Here you will experience renowned natural beauty, performing arts, and natural springs spas. Plus 13 golf courses, 10 museums, a historic battlefield, fabulous boutiques, antiques, and restaurants mean there is something for everyone.

Spa treatments
Naturally, a spa destined to serve generations with healing experiences would evolve at such a powerful place as Saratoga Springs NY, a haven infused with history and hydrotherapy.
Established in 1935, the Roosevelt Baths & Spa Saratoga Springs spa resort opened thanks to President Franklin Roosevelt's visionary act to preserve the Saratoga Springs. Authentic and historic, today the Roosevelt Baths & Spa offers a transforming hydrotherapy spa experience with natural healing treatments, performed by an attentive staff known for caring and quality of service.
Transformation begins with a private soak in Saratoga's naturally effervescent water. Guests will discover a delightfully buoyant quality to the mineral water and revel in Saratoga's signature brand of aquatic bliss. The mineral water is captured cold from underground springs, then mixed with warm freshwater to a neutral temperature for maximum benefits.
