The Adelphi Hotel in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., appointed Helen Watson as its new GM.

Watson has more than 20 years of hospitality experience, and prior to starting her new role with The Adelphi Hotel she served as director of rooms at the property. In this position, Watson gained insight into the city of Saratoga Springs, and was involved in helping to shape the brand and re-open the hotel. Before this, she held a leadership role within the concierge department at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Watson's other previous positions include the city's Four Seasons Hotel and Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas.

In her new role at The Adelphi Hotel, Watson will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the hotel, ensuring guest satisfaction and maintaining the hotel’s relationships with the local community.

“We are thrilled to promote Helen Watson to general manager here at The Adelphi Hotel,” Larry Roth, co-owner of Adelphi Hospitality Group, said in a statement. “The Adelphi Hotel dates back to Saratoga Springs’ Victorian age when the town was known as America’s playground for the rich and famous, and we are sure Watson will uphold the hotel’s treasured values and relationships with our culturally vibrant community.”

Originally built in 1877, The Adelphi Hotel is a modern reimagining of a classic Victorian building, and recently completed a five-year renovation. The property is a cultural icon in Saratoga Springs, an upstate New York town known for its historic Victorian architecture, arts community, horse racing and more.

The Adelphi Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Saratoga Springs at 365 Broadway.
