The Adelphi Hotel is one of the few Broadway businesses that recreates traditional Victorian design and makes it work. This is not a popular style these days, and most places either do a dreadful hokey version, or avoid it with modern sleak design. No matter how you feel about it, Saratoga Springs is a Victorian city, and the Adelphi seems to be the sole flag bearer working within the tradition.
From the Moment You Get Out of Your Car It's Perfect
From a distance, across the street, or right in front of the door, there are no bad views. The small gardens between the sidewalk and the entrance are in harmony with the building design and the surrounding landscaping. The walkway from the street is a grand entrance under a vine covered trellis.
Small Victorian Gardens
Whether you love the old world style or not, this is what people come to Saratoga Springs to experience. They have done a great job with all the details – the type treatment of their logo, the colors of the building, flowers in the pots in front of the doors, even the gold leaf on the entrance door signs, all look as if they have come from Saratoga’s past.
The Grand Entrance
The design consistent even when you look up, with traditional banners, and flowers giving a festive victorian view.
Looking up at the Adelphi Balcony
The old Saratoga may be fading away, but the Adelphi is letting visitors step back in time and see what originally made this city famous.

Wow how ironic, my girlfriend and I just walked through the lobby late last night (after a great dinner at Maestro’s) and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Yes it was like we stepped back in time and I would have loved to gone to one of the rooms. We may stop there tonight for a drink.
