    A New Kind of Hospitality
    The Clarion Hotel of Albany is the talk of the town.

    The Clarion Hotel of Albany

    When the Clarion Hotel held its grand opening in December 2004, central Albany was the benefactor. The hotel (originally a Quality Inn) extensively renovated its guest rooms, common areas, and exterior and offers style, state-of-the-art services, and comfortable accommodations to both Albany-area residents and travelers.

    The Clarion, located at 3 Watervliet Avenue Extension just off Interstate 90 at Exit 5, is 10 minutes from the Capitol. It has more than 200 hotel guest rooms, all with coffee makers, microwaves, fridges, and in-room safes, making the hotel perfect for short-term or long-term visitors to the area. Visitors will also enjoy the Fitness Center, heated indoor pool, outdoor seasonal pool, BizNet Center for faxing and Internet access, and complimentary deluxe continental breakfast served by Scenarios Restaurant.

    The Clarion’s Conference Center and Ballroom were also renovated, providing area businesses and residents with a high-value option for events of all kinds. The hotel’s Audio-Visual Center is an ideal setting for training sessions, designed as an amphitheater classroom for 50 participants. It is the only conference center in Albany offering power and Internet connections at each seat.

    If you’re planning a special event, whether for business or pleasure, the Clarion Hotel can help you with customized planning and menu design. The newly refurbished Conference Center and Ballroom can accommodate intimate groups of 20 or a gathering of up to 200 people. Whether it’s a speaking engagement or an engagement party, the hotel’s expert staff will work with you to make it a special occasion.
