4-star hotels in Schenectady
A short shortlist of the 4-star hotels in Schenectady, both of them in the city itself. It is put together for travellers who want a downtown base, an easy stop between Albany and the Mohawk Valley, or a comfortable night before or after something at a downtown venue.
Staying in Schenectady
Schenectady is an old Mohawk Valley city whose downtown still runs on a compact grid of streets, with the two 4-star hotels on this list sitting right inside it: DoubleTree by Hilton Schenectady Downtown on Nott Terrace and The Landing Hotel at Rivers Casino & Resort on Rush Street. Neither address puts you out on a highway strip, so a stay here means the city around you rather than a car park on its edge.
The pair is a small one, and each works for a different kind of trip. DoubleTree by Hilton Schenectady Downtown, with a guest rating of 4.2 from 626 reviews, is the downtown address for couples on a short break and for business travellers who want to be in the middle of things. The Landing Hotel at Rivers Casino & Resort, also rated 4.2 and with 478 reviews, suits guests who would rather have their evening's entertainment in the same building. Both are 4-star, so the shortlist stays level on class and separates them on location and on what you plan to do once you are there.
