The Adelphi
Hotel is a rare surviving High Victorian
Hotel Inn from the end of the 19th century -
when Saratoga Springs reigned as America's "Queen
of the Spa's." The Hotel was constructed
in 1877 during the heyday of the national rage
for "taking the waters" at Saratoga.
As you approach the entrance of the hotel, the
distinguishing Italianate Facade rises four
stories above street level with slender columns
that are capped with a fantasy of Victorian
fretwork. There is a 90 foot "piazza"
(porch) on the second floor overlooking Saratoga's
historic Broadway.
