Nestled in the heart of Saratoga Springs, New York, Hotel Brookmere is a reimagined barn-turned-boutique hotel that seamlessly marries rustic heritage with refined sophistication. The design honors the building’s history while embracing contemporary elegance through rich natural materials, layered textures, and a color palette thoughtfully inspired by Saratoga’s four changing seasons. In the grand lobby, guests are welcomed by gleaming marble floors, custom chandeliers that shimmer like sunlight through trees, and a dramatic stone fireplace that serves as the heart of the space. Expansive windows frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding woods, filling the interiors with natural light. The seasonal restaurant exudes warmth, pairing locally sourced cuisine with a setting reminiscent of a summer retreat. Guest rooms feature a minimalist yet inviting design, with warm wood, textured stone, and forest-hued accents of green, rust, and brown. Custom artwork of native wildlife adds a personal, regionally grounded touch, completing this immersive upstate escape.
