SARATOGA SPRINGS — Hay Creek Hotels and Restaurants have expanded its presence in the Northeast with three management deals, including the former location of Longfellow’s Hotel and Restaurant in Saratoga Springs.
“Introducing a variety of properties into our system is a critical part of our growth strategy as we remain intentional in our approach to build a portfolio of boutique, independent hotels that vary in size, segmentation, and geographic location,” Hay Creek CEO Gary Sims said in a statement.
The property will now be called The Brookmere Hotel, according to a press release by Hay Creek Hotels. The hotel is located a mile from Saratoga Racetrack and sits on a 10-acre site abutting Saratoga National Golf Course with private access to Lake Lonely.
The project is the total transformation of the former Longfellows into Brookmere, an upper-upscale hotel with 88 rooms and suites, Clover Restaurant & Bar with seasonal outdoor porch, 3,500 square feet of meeting and event space, including an additional seasonal courtyard, and an upscale spa.
Hay Creek will be working closely with Spring City Development, Bonacio Construction and interior design firm Sims Patrick Studio and will begin operations upon its opening slated for mid-summer 2024.
“Historically, the word boutique has been synonymous with small in scale, but at Hay Creek that word simply signifies an opportunity for us to customize and curate a guest experience for a diverse collection of hotels ranging in size and complexity, which is evident in this current mix of new hotels we’ve brought into the portfolio,” Dan Mahoney, SVP of development at Hay Creek Hotels and Restaurants, said in a statement.
