Renaissance Albany Hotel Review
Situated in the Downtown Albany district of Albany, the stunning 4-star Renaissance Albany Hotel gives access to entertainment venues like Palace Theater, only a 9-minute stroll away. Boasting a location just 0.7 km from the huge New York State Museum, this Albany hotel features 203 rooms as well as a storage room and a restaurant.
Start your day in the restaurant with a traditional American breakfast. The lounge bar is ideal for a relaxing drink. The café Cheesecake Machismo is within short walking distance of the hotel.
The property is located at a distance of 250 metres from Academy Park and fairly close to Albany Capital Center. The lovely Renaissance Albany offers proximity to such natural sights as Van Rensselaer Island (2.5 km) and the urban Lincoln Park (2.8 km).
The accommodation is situated within 5 minutes' drive of the beautifully landscaped Washington Park, and Greyhound/Trailways Terminal bus station lies approximately a 5-minute drive away.
All air-conditioned rooms at the perfect Renaissance are equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels along with tea and coffee making facilities for self-catering. They are outfitted with comfortable decor. The spacious bathrooms offer a roll-in shower, along with bathrobes. Guests can also enjoy views of the port.
For those travelling from afar, Albany International airport is 21 minutes' drive away.
Guests also have access to a gym and a tennis court for a fee. At the Renaissance Albany, guests can also benefit from fitness classes provided at a fitness club. Business travellers are welcome to use a business centre offered on site.
