Saratoga Springs hotel guests can see world-famous thoroughbred horse races during the summer, but there is plenty to do the rest of the year as well. Don't miss Saratoga Spa State Park with its mineral baths, golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools and hiking trails. And, as the site of the Revolutionary War Battle of Saratoga, the city is home to the Saratoga National Historic Park battlefield preserve commemorating the American victory in what was ultimately the turning point in the war.
For indoor activities, there's the Saratoga Springs History Museum, the New York State Military Museum and the Automobile Museum––all conveniently located to our downtown Saratoga Springs accommodations. Art aficionados won't want to miss the galleries and bistros in the Beekman Street art district. Horse lovers will thoroughly enjoy touring the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, where you can see historic trophies, intricate sculptures, paintings, and specialized racing exhibits.
Music lovers at our Saratoga Springs hotels will appreciate that the city was a mecca for the 1960s folk music movement, playing home to Don McClean and Arlo Guthrie. That legacy continues today, especially at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, which features big-name artists and serves as part-time home to the New York City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
