Best Hotels in Saratoga Springs

Though the majority of travelers come to this property for the casino alone, it could easily stand on its own as a top hotel. Guests are consistently impressed with the quality and size of the accommodations, with standard rooms measuring between 400 to 430 square feet. Decor is luxurious and loud, featuring bold patterns, Victorian writing desks and beds with metallic blue quilted headboards. Amenities include free Wi-Fi access, HDTVs, minifridges, bathrooms with walk-in showers, and large windows, some featuring direct views of the race track. Along with the comfortable digs, visitors also enjoyed the variety of dining options available, including Morton's The Steakhouse (a guest favorite) and Fortunes, which overlooks the racetrack. The hotel also features a 24-hour gym and an indoor lap pool. Entertainment is plentiful too, with the hotel regularly hosting performances by local and national music acts, as well as parties with DJs. The casino, however, received mixed reviews for its lack of live dealers. You can find the Saratoga Casino Hotel a little more than 2 miles south of downtown Saratoga Springs, New York, about 34 miles north of Albany. 

Located within walking distance of the European-inspired and sophisticated city center of Saratoga Springs, New York, the Pavilion Grand Hotel is steps away from award-winning restaurants, chic shops and historical sites. An on-site concierge service is available to provide recommendations, organize events and set up reservations for guests during their stays in town. You don't need to leave this hotel to enjoy yourself, though, as the Make Me Fabulous Salon and Spa provides excellent opportunities for relaxation, and the 24-hour fitness center helps keep your blood pumping. Two on-site restaurants are also open daily: Blue Peacock Bistro serves casual and eclectic fare for breakfast and lunch, and the Fish at 30 Lake dishes out fresh fish in a fine dining setting for dinner. You'll also want to spend time in your rooms, as even standard studios at this hotel include kitchen and dining areas; some suites also feature multiple floors and terraces. What's more, all accommodations include 55-inch flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi access and high ceilings. While many travelers praised the comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms, some said that housekeeping services could use improvement. Keep in mind, guests with cars will have to settle for valet parking for a fee ($12.50 for cars and $15 for SUVs) as it's the only option on-site.
