The Travers Festival runs August 17–25, and culminates with the iconic Travers Day at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday, August 23. Known as the “Mid-Summer Derby,” Travers Day brings together elite horses, major stakes races, and head-turning fashion in one of the oldest thoroughbred events in the country. Hotel Brookmere & Arbor Spa offers the perfect retreat for the week’s festivities—close to the track, but with enough breathing room to unwind between race-day energy and after-party style. Whether you're here for the sport, the social scene, or both, elevate your Saratoga stay with curated cocktails at Regent and a post-race massage at Arbor Spa.
Rooms fill fast for Travers Week—reserve now to be part of the tradition.
