Ideally located in the heart of New York State's Capitol Region, The Desmond Hotel And Conference Center features luxurious guestrooms on charming courtyards, just steps away from our two fine dining restaurants and cozy tavern. A 3 Diamond AAA and 3 Star Mobil hotel, the Desmond is fully furnished in authentic 18th century oriental rugs, colonial garb, original oil paintings, handcrafted woodwork and finely detailed fabrics and wall coverings.
Voted "Best Hotel" in the Upper Hudson Valley by readers of Hudson Valley Magazine 2002 readers poll! Located less than one mile from the Albany International Airport - served by five major air carriers. The Desmond sits at the crossroads of major interstates - north, south, 13 east and west. Montreal, New York City, Boston, Buffalo and other major cities are within just a few hours.
