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.
