Saratoga Springs in upstate New York has been one of America's most celebrated thermal destinations since the 18th century, when George Washington and other founding figures visited to take its naturally carbonated mineral waters. The springs, which bubble to the surface in Saratoga Spa State Park with an unusually complex composition of bicarbonate, calcium, sodium and magnesium minerals, were historically sought by generations of visitors for their exceptional mineral character and invigorating qualities. The Roosevelt Bathhouse in the spa park, an elegant 1930s New Deal structure, has been restored and still offers traditional mineral bathing in the waters once enjoyed by generations of American presidents, industrialists and artists. Saratoga's blend of Georgian spa grandeur, horse racing tradition and genuine mineral bathing makes it unlike any other thermal destination in North America.
