Roosevelt Baths and Spa, Saratoga Springs

Amazing experience - soaking in hot spring water for 45 minutes! Healing and relaxing in 90% pure spring water. 10% hot tap water is added to heat up the bath water to perfect 104ish degrees. The facilities are nice and clean. The tubs are the actual historic ones from the 30s which were restored and lined. Soaking in this water feels amazing and time flies - I could have easily doubled the time. There is a massage and other packages which I didn’t take advantage of this time. Interesting fact, while there are fresh springs and mineral water available for people to fill up our own containers, there doesn’t seem to be actual bottling plant. The water baring the Saratoga name is actually bottled in Main according to the bottle label - see the picture. Make sure to check out the restaurants suggested to me - pictures at the end of the post. Sweet Mimi’s apparently uses local ingredients including milk produced by local cows.

The water was deep and temperature perfect. The minerals felt nice on the skin and the music and aromatherapy were great, too. Our guide, Colleen, was terrific. She explained everything so well and even attended to our individual needs. We wish we would have gotten the massage after, but there is always next time!
