Upscale Hotels in Albany, New York
Albany, New York's State Capital, is three hours north of New York City, but it has its own charm and offers history, festivals and nightlife events year-round, including the Jazz Festival in June, the Tulips Festival in May and the Winter Festival in December. In any season, walking is best to explore the Mansion Neighborhood, filled with historic homes, or the 1761 Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site. The list of Albany hotels is impressive.
