It should be noted that Albany is a rather common place name in the United States, with other similarly-monikered cities to be found in California, Georgia and Oregon. Easily the best-known, however, is Albany, NY - the capital of New York State. Albany, NY rests to the north of one of America's most populous states, about sixty miles inland from Boston and just less than one hundred to the Canadian border. As one of the most distinguished of the 'old' US cities (and the state capital), it is steeped in antiquity and authentic charm. What sets Albany apart from most other towns of upper NY State, however, is the way the old has been subtly and carefully retained whilst the city develops to keep pace with the 21st century. What was traditionally rather a 'dormitory town' where Albany's workers would depart to their home towns and cities after-hours has been changed radically in recent years. With stylish, modern renovations of existing properties and brand new buildings that manage to complement rather than challenge the traditional architecture, the city's oldest areas around State Street and Albany Waterfront are being revitalized. The city is now attracting a new influx of affluent young professionals, as well as an increasing number of boutique hotels, many of which you'll find details of here at HotelsAlbany.net. Getting to Albany couldn't be easier, with extensive road, rail and air networks that will get you to the city and on to your quality hotel (selected, we hope, via HotelsAlbany.net) with the minimum of fuss. The city is served by two airports, Albany International and South Albany Airport, bringing in travelers from the continental USA and Canada. Several main Amtrak rail lines intersect at Albany, making it the ideal gateway for exploring the Atlantic seaboard and further afield. Upon arrival in Albany, you'll find that the city's pre-automobile street layout is ideal for exploration, with many of the city's top attractions within a relatively short distance from one another. The Downtown district, home to must-sees such as the Empire State Plaza with its impressive New York State Capitol building is also ideal as a district for staying in by selecting one of the great Downtown accommodation choices from HotelsAlbany.net. While New York City is traditionally the region's biggest tourist draw, many visitors wish to enjoy the more bucolic charms of upstate New York, and for this Albany is the perfect place to stay. Nestled amongst some of the most charming landscape that North America has to offer, Albany is also the ideal locale to begin discovering the quaint charms of New England, Maine and the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec. HotelsAlbany.net is a great place to look for all kinds of hotels and motels that can be used as a staring point in discovering this varied and beautiful part of the USA. The major Interstate freeway (I 87) that runs south-to-north conveys drivers from Albany to one of Canada's most beguiling cities, Montreal, in less than two hours, whilst the leafy splendor of New Hampshire and Maine lie along the I 90 to the east only a few miles more distant. While the industrial and financial powerhouse of the USA's east coast is New York City, Albany and its surrounding towns also have their own important contribution to make to the US economy. With a thriving business community of its own, several premier-league business hotels have set up in Albany that provide meeting space as well as sumptuous suites and guestrooms for deals to be cut. Many of the hotels and motels you'll find here at HotelsAlbany.net have extensive experience in hosting business events, from small presentations and launches to full-scale exhibitions. With dedicated and experienced staff, you'll find all the knowledge and enthusiasm you require to make sure that any business event is planned meticulously and carried out successfully. Tourism also plays an important part in the Albany economy, with a large number of visitors arriving in the fall, lured by the pervasive rust-red and ocher tones as the trees prepare for winter. There isn't a more beautiful time to visit this part of the world, and many of the quality motels and hotels at HotelsAlbany.net offer special fall packages so you can make the most of this special season. The area around Albany's Lark Street is a particular draw in Fall, when the streets between Madison and Washington are turned into a pedestrianized street celebration known as 'Larkfest'.
