The 10 best spas in Saratoga Springs

People have come to Saratoga Springs to soak in mineral water for generations, and the bathing still goes on. Roosevelt Baths & Spa has run mineral baths in Saratoga Spa State Park since 1935, and two other spots on this list, one on Broadway and one in Ballston Spa, say they use water from springs beneath their own buildings. The Lincoln Bathhouse is a different story: it reopened Oct. 1, 2026, as the park office, a visitor hall and a hydrotherapy museum, not a place to book a bath, as we reported in our Lincoln Bathhouse story.

This list is for locals who want an afternoon off and visitors planning a spa day. It covers mineral baths, hotel spas, independent day spas and two newer sauna spots. Nine have Saratoga Springs addresses, and one is in the Village of Ballston Spa.

How we chose

We looked for places that book real spa services, from mineral baths and massage to facials and body treatments, with a steady local reputation and local press coverage. Each one was confirmed open as of early October 2026 from the spa’s own website or booking page, and prices and hours come from those pages. Nail-only salons and med spas built around injectables and lasers were left off. The list is unranked and in alphabetical order, and no business paid to be included.

Hours, prices and dates below come from each business or official source and change without notice. Call ahead if you are making a special trip.
