Following five and a half years of hard work and dedication, the Adelphi Hotel recently celebrated its grand reopening, marking the culmination of its $90 million renovation of the hotel.
Friends and family, those who worked on the project, as well as members of the community, recently came out to celebrate the massive additions and renovations to the space.
“Since envisioning the transformation of The Adelphi Hotel, Larry (Roth) and I could not be prouder of this new chapter for this historic property,” Michael Dubb, project developer, founder and CEO of The Beechwood Organization, and co-owner of The Adelphi Hotel, said via statement. “We welcome local officials and members of the community to see what we’ve created at the corner of Broadway and Washington Street, both inside and out.
“We hope that this landmark property continues to be a cornerstone of the time-honored and vibrant identity of Saratoga Springs for generations to come.”
The project included almost doubling the number of accommodations the Adelphi could provide, taking it from 32 to 65 guestrooms, as well as a larger and redesigned lobby, a new ballroom that doubled its size to accommodate 225 guests, upgrades to outdoor gathering space, and creation of 79 condominium residences — which the hotel celebrated the completion of last summer.
There were also extensive upgrades to restaurants, including The Adelphi’s farm-to-table steakhouse, Salt & Char, which underwent significant renovations, including enhancements to its state-of-the-art kitchen, which will now be shared with the hotel’s restaurant lounge, Morrissey’s.
“It starts with the guests, and this renovation truly is guest-centric – and that’s because of our owners. The attention to detail here, everything that we get to provide for our guests is just truly a privilege. I’m humbled and honored to be part of this, and it doesn’t start with the building, but it’s the people in here, too. We have great staff, from our valet to our front desk to our housekeepers to my executive team,” Adelphi’s Managing Director, David Hayes, said.
“I look forward to serving all of you, being part of this community, and bringing everything that the ownership’s vision has brought to the table here. So, thank you again for being here.”
Renovations also included the opening of a brand-new luxury spa and fitness center, designed to provide easy accessibility for hotel guests in mind, which includes personalized spa services such as massages, facials and body treatments, alongside a fully equipped fitness center that caters to both casual and dedicated wellness enthusiasts.
Something that businessman and co-owner of The Adelphi Hotel, Larry Roth, noted was how excited both he and Dubb were to see this project reach fruition, noting that it was a true labor of love and something the duo feels proud to have completed.
“The people in this room really don’t understand the satisfaction that both Mike and I have today. From a vision in 2019 to reality in 2025, five and a half years, and in those five and a half years we went through a lot of obstacles – COVID in 2020 which created a lot of issues and then past couple years, the inflation rate and the interest rates, which has caused us to pay a lot more for the construction,” Roth noted.
“This renovation and expansion signifies and cements our place alongside Saratoga Springs’ rich history of racing, wellness, entertainment, and excellence. Saratoga is no longer just a summer destination. The investment in our transformation and creation of The Residences at The Adelphi Hotel proves that.”
Another one of the many people at the ceremony celebrating this accomplishment for the Adelphi was Spa City’s mayor, John Safford, who acknowledged the hard work put in by Roth and Dubb.
“The mayor’s office is responsible for the building departments and their (Roth and Dubb’s) willingness to jump through the hoops that it takes to do this kind of a project — which because of its uniqueness of rooms and condos, was a very, very, very unique kind of concept and a challenge for many of us,” Safford said. “But, they were willing to stick with it, they were willing to make it happen, and that is what makes our city so incredibly wonderful.
“This is a great city, and I’m so happy to have Larry and Michael as constituents and residents here in this beautiful historic facility.”
