Best hotels in Albany
It is for couples, families and business travellers choosing where to sleep in New York's capital.
Staying in Albany
Albany spreads along the Hudson River, with a compact downtown of state buildings and museums and a belt of commercial strips, malls and the airport to the north and west. The hotels here sit along three main axes: State Street and Montgomery Street in the centre, Wolf Road and Albany Shaker Road near the airport, and Western Avenue and Washington Avenue running west towards the university and Crossgates Mall. A few are farmhouses or private apartments on quieter residential roads.
Downtown suits short breaks and business trips, with the Renaissance Albany Hotel and Hyatt Place Albany Downtown within walking distance of the State Street corridor. Wolf Road and Albany Shaker Road suit early flights and park-and-fly stays, with 24-hour shuttles at the Crowne Plaza Albany The Desmond Hotel and Courtyard by Marriott Albany Airport. Families do well in the suite hotels around Colonie and Crossgates, and couples may prefer the 4-star Argus Hotel & Cocktail Lounge or the historic Jesse Buel Farmhouse with its heated pool.
