Roosevelt Baths & Spa, Saratoga Springs

Roosevelt Baths & Spa opened in 1935 inside today’s Saratoga Spa State Park in Saratoga Springs, New York, as part of the preservation effort associated with Franklin Roosevelt’s era in the spa city. The spa now operates with the Gideon Putnam resort at 39 Roosevelt Drive and specializes in mineral baths that use naturally carbonated Saratoga mineral water drawn cold from underground springs and warmed with fresh water to a neutral soaking temperature. Guests book hydrotherapy baths alone or before other treatments; saunas are offered only when attached to additional services. The spa sits a short walk from Putnam’s Restaurant & Bar and the wider state-park landscape of trails and the historic drink halls. This is a appointment-driven resort spa rather than a walk-up municipal pool: policies require guests to be at least 18, ask visitors to arrive thirty minutes early, and run a cashless front desk. September–October promotions on the site have offered weekday discounts with a promo code — confirm current specials when you book at 518-584-7035 or online.
