The Gideon Putnam Resort was chosen as the first United States hotel to offer the services of “DivorceHotel,” a company the specializes in splitting up couples in a relaxed and luxurious setting.
A New York hotel promises lovely weekends away this fall -- complete with quickie divorce packages for those looking for a life change along with the seasonal one.
For fee of $7500 to $12,000, the divorcing parties are put up in separate rooms at Saratoga Springs’ Gideon Putnam Resort for a weekend and work with a mediator to finalize the details into a signed agreement.
One weekend, no muss, no fuss. Everything is wrapped up in a neat agreement that goes to the lawyers and then a judge for a final stamp of approval, said Michele Martin, the Malta mediator who was instrumental in bringing the Dutch enterprise to the United States.
