The Brentwood Hotel

On the backstretch of a famed racetrack where the horse Seabiscuit was discovered, the 12-room Brentwood Hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York, feels traditionally Americana—albeit with an authentic L-shaped equestrian bent. Its owners, the aforementioned creative group Studio Tack, insisted on classic details: Jaclo brass fixtures, antique kilim rugs, high-gloss plywood floors, and vintage bucolic oil paintings. Custom pine beds (by the woodworker David Cummings) are topped with hand-dyed Brooklyn-based Sharktooth blankets. Meanwhile, glossy black bathrooms feature rain showers, chamfered mirrors, and toiletries from C.O. Bigelow.- Architectural Digest

Brentwood Hotel opened in November after an intense renovation took a fading motor lodge down to its studs and built in its place a structure that is as handsome and thoughtfully curated as it is comfortable and familiar — a product, no doubt, of the team’s combined expertise in architecture, design, hospitality, and carpentry. The 12 rooms, each uniquely outfitted to reflect both the rich equestrian heritage of the region and the clean, streamlined style of Studio Tack, spill out onto an open courtyard with views of the Saratoga Race Course. “A lot of the inspiration for the exterior came from local design cues from the stables in the area,” Jou-Yie says of the wide walkways and thick beams that connect each of the rooms. Stables and warm up areas dot the landscape as far as the eye can see and summer afternoons during race season will allow guests to sit outside and watch jockeys parade their horses to the track while live music plays at the Horseshoe Inn across the street.

We have complimentary Linus bikes for our guests to ride into town. During summer months guests can listen to live music every night from the restaurant across the street. The Lobby bar is open from 8am until 11pm and features craft cocktails and vinyls.
