Modern, high-end day spas coexist with traditional, natural mineral baths in Saratoga Springs, New York. Luxury treatment at any of these spas will add to your vacation.
Saratoga Springs offers a remarkable amount of entertainment for a town of its size. The Saratoga Performing Arts Center has ongoing shows and concerts from the New York City Ballet and Philadelphia Orchestra all summer, and virtually all the big-name rock and pop stars stop year-round at SPAC while touring. Ten museums allow tourists to delve into the history and romance of Saratoga Springs, or just let their children run rampant at the Children's Museum.
But when all is said and done, sometimes luxury travel means stopping all this personal vacation edification, and taking the time to relax. And where better to relax and get away from it all, than a swanky day spa? Saratoga Springs, after all, practically invented the concept of luxury baths and spa treatments for this country.
The father of our country, George Washington himself, enjoyed the mineral springs and natural spas of Saratoga so much, he wanted to buy land here. The Lincoln Baths and the Crystal Spa, in the Saratoga Spa State Park, still draw their bath water directly from the limestone underground. A sense of Revolutionary and Victorian American history pervades both spas.
More modern spas, with high-end luxury treatments, also abound in Saratoga Springs (you can bet George Washington never had an exfoliating Cranberry Salt Glow treatment).
Esthetiques World Spa is located in the classy Adelphi Hotel. The Thai decor, with complementing incense, lend a sense of escape right away. This was Saratoga's first modern full service salon and spa, with a specialty in skin care. The extensive skin care menu goes beyond simple facials, and there is a variety of acid peels and other treatments as well. Esthetiques World Spa has traditional massages and energy therapies, body exfoliation treatments with both sugar and salt rubs, body wraps, and Ayurvedic, holistics treatments to relax your body and revitalize your overall sense of self.
Roosevelt Inn and Suites offers a day of luxury spa treatments, and also a solid workout with one-on-one fitness training. What better way is there to follow up intense cardio, than with massage therapy and body treatments to repair your tired muscles? Massage treatments include Swedish massage, aromatherapy massage, and a new Green Tea and Lime Leaf Body Butter massage. Sounds delicious! Other body treatments include the Citrus Body Polish, Seaweed Wrap, and the Pomegranate and Cranberry Salt Glow. There is also a wide array of facials. Choose from a Gentleman's facial, European facial, and the Ultimate facial, as well as others. Spa packages include the Romantic Getaway, Get Fit, and Pure Indulgence.
The Gideon Putnam Resort and Spa offers a romantic stay at a luxury resort, in which you can partake of the day spa, or simply take a business meeting in a sumptuous setting. The Gideon Putnam Resort offers natural herbal mineral water baths at the on-site Roosevelt Baths, as well as modern, high-end spa treatments. Spa packages include the Washington Revitalizer, Lincoln Escape, and the Race Track Express.
