A CLASSIC REFRESHED

The Gideon Putnam is NOW OPEN! All of the classic charm you know and love with a touch more of modern comfort. We took a hardship and made it into an opportunity to improve. After issues with our water main in January, we have made the best of our time and did extensive work on the entire hotel. We are excited to open with renovated guest corridors, guest rooms, Putnam's Restaurant, Saratoga Room, and many other touches throughout the property. Come and see all that is new at The Gideon Putnam.
