Cheers
Cheers to the next 50 years! It began with a vision.
50th Anniversary
Committed to what was once just a dream; dedicated citizens and hotel employees have built a truly unique hotel experience that changed the fabric of the city by offering year-round accommodations. Fifty years later, it continues to provide guests with a warm welcome into the heart of Saratoga Springs and all that it has to offer.
A great hotel that guests love. The majority of visitors to the Holiday Inn come back year after year. With a long-term staff that knows your name and what you like, staying at the hotel is like staying with friends. Friends that have all the amenities to ensure your stay is a comfortable one. Travelers enjoy the benefits of a hotel that is in the InterContinental Hotels Group with all the style and convenience of a downtown location.
A strong future.
