Gideon Putnam Resort & Spa

It’s not often that travelers feel more relaxed after a business trip, but that’s sure to be the case when their meetings take place at The Gideon Putnam. The property is located in Saratoga Spa State Park, just half a mile from the healing mineral waters of Roosevelt Baths & Spa, which offer hydrotherapy and other restorative treatments.

The serene setting facilitates concentration during corporate events in the resort’s 12,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space, including a self-contained conference center. Among the venues is a ballroom that has been newly renovated with a contemporary design, flexible lighting options, and comfortable banquet chairs.

The focus on health and well-being transfers to events as well, with group activities such as meditation sessions, expert-led wellness seminars, chair massages, and yoga classes. Attendees can also indulge in golf at one of The Gideon Putnam’s three partner courses and swimming at the seasonal outdoor pools, along with tennis, hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.

When guests are completely relaxed and ready for some action, they can take a seasonal, complimentary shuttle to downtown Saratoga Springs, the famed Saratoga Race Course, the Saratoga Casino Hotel, or any other attraction within the park. Afterward, they return to the elegant rooms and suites, all of which underwent extensive renovations in 2018.
