Renaissance Albany Hotel, for stately luxury near the Capitol Steps

© Renaissance Albany Hotel / Expedia
Where better to stay in New York’s capital than across from the New York State Capitol among marble, wood paneling and sink-into beds? The Capitol Steps are a few steps from the hotel, putting you within seconds of the Empire State’s landmarks. If politics and history aren’t on your menu, you’ll satisfy an appetite for Albany with Hudson Valley duck breast, Saratoga kettle chips and the Capital Burger at Wellington’s locally-sourced restaurant.
