Roosevelt Baths and Spa

Indulge in the legendary Roosevelt Baths at Gideon Putnam Resort's New York spa.  Just steps from the resort, the effervescent Roosevelt Baths in Saratoga are the cornerstone of our luxury spa experience.  Select your spa treatment at GideonPutnam.com.

Guests from around the country take part in the mineral springs. Regular bathing in mineral springs is considered by many to be an important factor in preventive health care. The mineral water is combined with hot tap water to bring the water temperature to 97º Fahrenheit. This keeps the carbonation at its peak. Using the mineral springs can have physical benefits and psychological benefits, reducing stress and strengthening the body's overall functioning.

Our New York Spa offers a full menu of services, including massages, facials, scrubs, body wraps, waxing, manicures, pedicures and hair styling.  Any choice will leave you feeling revitalized and refreshed.

The Roosevelt Baths are just a 10-15 minute stroll across the park from the Gideon Putnam Resort. Use of the 1,200 square foot fitness center, steam room and locker room facilities is complimentary for resort and spa guests.

Any deviation may cause dizziness and excessive perspiration.

Testimonials

"Thanksgiving's buffet dinner was exceptionally good this year!  The traditional items like the turkey and the stuffing were wonderful, but the added attractions like the Salmon Cibouillac were outstanding!  Thanks for making our holiday so special.
