The Mansion of Saratoga
-
The Excelsior Room is bright and regal. With a 14' ceiling, white marble fireplace, Waterford chandelier and an exquisite 1880 antique bedroom set – you will experience the romance that was Victoriana. As with all Mansion guest rooms, this room has a private bath.
With a private entrance, 4 poster king sized bed and large private deck the Saratoga Room provides the luxury expected in this grand property. Rich and warm colors add to the ambiance while the fireplace adds to the romance. The private bathroom is appointed with a Jacuzzi tub.
Enjoy a full gourmet breakfast in the formal setting that was once the dining room of a multi-millionaire industrialist and United States Congressman. This room is also available for private celebrations and dinners.
The main parlor of the Mansion is exquisite and decorated in fine period antiques. The focal point of the room is the massive ebonized marble fireplace, crowned by a magnificent mirrored over-mantle containing the inlaid initials of the home original owner, Hon. George West. Hanging from the 14 foot high ceiling is the original Waterford once gas fired chandelier.
On the second floor, overlooking the old mill pond you will find the San Souci Room. Decorated with a 4 poster, King sized bed, this striking room is offers contains a stunning antique mirrored armoire. The private bathroom is charming with a small claw footed antique tub. The chandelier above the bed is the original Waterford gas fixture.
These two parlors are seldom empty. Guests enjoy reading and listening to music during the day, sipping wine and meeting new friends during the early evening and just relaxing after an evening at the performing arts center or a dinner at one of the many fine restaurants.
After a day at the famous track, the museums or just touring the area, return to the quiet charm of the Mansion and relax on the 70 foot Victorian porch. As you listen to the muted roar of the waterfalls just 300 feet to the south, and look out to the flowering gardens you can almost imagine yourself in another time.
Just off the foyer is a magical room. The Mansion library and music room is elegant in its simplicity. Lipstick red walls trimmed in cream and gold frame the magnificent 1884 rosewood grand piano. Relax, read or for those so inclined, sit behind the piano and listen to the same sounds played over 120 years ago.
The Mansion is a place for all seasons and celebrations. The warmth of the fireplaces, the smell of mulled cider, the glow of candles and the rich decorations make the Mansion a holiday place to be. During the day, visit Saratoga where you can still go door-to-door and shop in small boutique shops for those special gifts. If shopping is not on your schedule consider a day at a spa and relax in the warm waters that have made Saratoga so famous.

The Mansion Inn is a luxurious country villa & retreat, offering an intimate, elegant and very private location, just 7 miles west of Saratoga Springs city center. The Mansion you will enter is very much the grand home of a 19th Century industrialist and after 150 years it remains virtually unchanged. Each of the stately guest rooms and romantic suites are unique in their appointments all offer private baths. The rooms are luxurious, air conditioned, spacious and all have been appointed to provide you with maximum comfort. The Inn is full of striking details, such as the six fireplaces with massive mantelpieces, original gas chandeliers with Waterford glass shades, etched-glass doors, parquet floors, 2" thick pocket doors and even an unsigned Tiffany chandelier in the gracious main entrance. The Mansion sits in a grove of giant tiger-tailed Spruce making use of over three acres to provide guests with a perfect playground. You can enjoy a full gormet breakfast each morning in the 19th Century formal dining room or, if you prefer, on the elegant 60-foot long Victorian porch overlooking the gardens and fountain. During summer months we serve breakfast on the garden deck under the 200 year old giant spruce trees. At this luxury inn, the choice is yours. To the rear of the property is the idyllic Mansion pond complete with fish, tadpoles, a cascading stream and occasional ducks. A blanket, good book and perhaps a bottle of wine will make a sunny afternoon a perfect personal escape. Stay at the Mansion - and experience the best a Saratoga NY Bed and Breakfast Inn has to offer.

4.4 out of 5FABULOUS first time B&B experience!!!
November 23, 2010
My boyfriend and I decided to get away for a weekend to Upstate NY. I did so much research to find the perfect place because this would be the first time we've stayed at a b&b. I wanted a vintage looking place, with a working fireplace, that didn't scream cheesy or old and musty. We met Lori(and her too cute baby Charlie), she informed us we were the only guests there that evening(Friday) and that breakfast would be served whenever we wanted the next morning. She let us explore the house and check out the other rooms. We stayed in the George West room as its the only one with a working gas fireplace. It was decorated well, clean, there was plenty of space for our stuff and the bed...ooh the bed! Lori let us into the room and the lights were dimly lit, the fireplace was ablaze and there was music softly playing. She brought us some wine, chatted with us about dinner suggestions, gave us a map with very good directions and left us feeling very happy with our choice. We spent a lovely weekend in Saratoga Springs and enjoyed our stay at the Mansion. Shannon(I think was her name) made a very delicious breakfast for us on Saturday morning and Rick...I'd like to bring him home with me! He's a phenomenal cook and such a sweet and funny guy!!! I would HIGHLY recommend The Mansion to anyone looking for a b&b in Saratoga Springs. Both my boyfriend and I look forward to going back sometime in the very near future. Thanks so much to the staff for a great experience!!!

I haven't been to this B&B for a couple of years, but I remember a very positive experience. Room was adequate, breakfast was outstanding, staff was friendly and helpful and lastly they had a wine and cheese gathing in the afternoon. What a great way to spend an hour or two.

We wanted to enjoy Saratoga Springs, but wanted to get away from the noise and bustle of town, and the Mansion was a perfect choice. A real departure from everyday life. Chef Rick's breakfast was an incredible gastronomic goumet feast every morning. The grounds might benefit from some professional landscaping, but otherwise, the interior was spectacular. Thanks very much for taking good care of us!

We had our wedding at the Mansion in May, and everything was just perfect. Every single person who worked at and with the Mansion was attentive to our every need, whether it was the type of scones we liked in the morning or the timing of the ceremony. Whether it is for a wedding or just a romantic weekend getaway (which we have also done there), the Mansion is a great spot near enough but far enough away from the bustle of downtown Saratoga.
