Saratoga Springs, N.Y. – August 4, 2017 – The Saratoga Hilton – Saratoga Springs’ largest hotel, with 242 guestrooms – today announced the completion of its first phase of renovations. The seven-million-dollar project included a full transformation of all guestrooms, the hotel’s restaurant and all public spaces. The hotel will undergo a second phase of renovations beginning in Q4 2017.
“Saratoga Springs is one of upstate New York’s most popular destinations and our property puts guests within reach of many local attractions, charming boutique shops and fine restaurants,” said Mik Mahdavi, general manager of The Saratoga Hilton. “Our contemporary style and residential feel gives travelers a sense of home, as they prepare for a day of golf, skiing, business meetings or a trip to the Saratoga Race Course. We are excited to welcome guests with a fresh look and feel at their home away from home.”
Managed by Driftwood Hospitality Management (DHM) since 2016, The Saratoga Hilton began renovations in November of last year and has refurbished all 242 guestrooms and incorporated HVAC units, updated its on-site restaurant – The Springs Restaurant serving modern American fare – transformed the public areas and added a Starbucks Café – where guests can enjoy any Starbucks drink. As part of phase two, sliding doors and new patio areas will be added to the front and rear of the hotel. Additionally, The Saratoga Hilton – connected to the city’s Convention Center and host to all citywide conventions – will enhance the property’s 58,000 sq. ft. of meeting space.
“We purchased the property last year and immediately had the vision that this could be one of the premier hotels in the area,” said Carlos Rodriguez Sr., CEO of Driftwood Acquisitions & Development (DAD). “Today is a very exciting day, as we can now set our sights on the second phase of renovations. This is such a vibrant destination filled with entertainment and dynamic areas. We’re thrilled that guests can enjoy the town and have a comfortable place to rest at night.”
Purchased by DHM’s sister company, DAD, the Saratoga Hilton is located just six miles from the Saratoga County Airport and 30 miles from Albany International Airport. Additional hotel amenities include a heated indoor pool, a fitness center, free high-speed internet and room service.
