The George West Mansion was purchased in 2001 by Jeffrey Wodicka and Neil Castro of Saratoga Springs and opened as The Mansion Inn Bed & Breakfast for Memorial Day 2002. Their goal was to restore the home of this industrialist to its original grandeur and run a Bed & Breakfast.
The high-end Italianate Victorian was converted from a yellow and white plain looking structure to the multi-color “painted lady” that it would have been in 1866. Working with noted interior designer Mr. Edward DeRocker the interior was changed from plain white walls to shades of gold, lipstick red and deep plum colors. The original structure stands today as it did when it was built.
Over the last decade, under the management of Jeffrey & Neil’s daughter, Lori Wodicka and Executive Chef, Rick Bieber, The Mansion organically grew and seamlessly transitioned from The Mansion Inn Bed & Breakfast into The Mansion of Saratoga. The Mansion is now a premier Event Venue hosting everything from Weddings, Parties, Corporate Functions to their Summer Concert Series, bringing an impressive list of talent straight from Broadway. The Mansion of Saratoga grows and blossoms each year, you never know what will happen next. They are a team full of dreams and ambition and they can’t wait to share what may come next. Stay tuned…
In addition, it wouldn’t be right not to mention the rest of The Mansion team from grounds keeper, to housekeeping, kitchen crew and event staff. Without the love and passion they all have for their jobs, The Mansion wouldn’t be what it is today.
We are always looking for new team members…
