Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Latham sits in the heart of downtown Latham, offering a relaxed base just minutes from Albany’s top music venues.

Whether you're winding down after a concert or gearing up for one, this hotel has you covered.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love the easy access to Albany’s music scene—the hotel is just a short drive from major venues and offers free shuttle service to Albany International Airport, making late-night arrivals or early departures stress-free. The quiet location away from the downtown bustle is ideal for post-concert recovery, while the indoor pool and jacuzzi are perfect for relaxing after a high-energy night. Flexible check-in from 3:00 PM and a smooth check-out by 11:00 AM gives you time to recharge.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends heading to a weekend show
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
• Couples looking for a relaxing music-filled weekend
• Fans who want a quieter space to unwind after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

On-Tap Restaurant and Sports Bar, located on-site, serves up burgers, salads, and sandwiches—perfect for a pre- or post-show bite. While there’s no 24/7 room service, food is available for lunch and dinner, and there are plenty of walkable dining options nearby. Breakfast is available in the mornings, even after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is on the quieter side, On-Tap Sports Bar offers a casual spot to grab a drink. You're also a short drive from Albany’s nightlife, including bars, lounges, and live music venues. It's a great balance if you want energy at the venue and calm at your hotel.

What People Say

Guests often mention the friendly staff, clean rooms, and convenient location. Reviewers on TripAdvisor and Booking.com consistently highlight the hotel’s easy parking, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable beds as big pluses. The indoor pool and jacuzzi also get shout-outs for being great places to relax after a long night.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t in the heart of Albany, so you’ll need a car or rideshare for most venues. Some guests noted that the restaurant hours could be more flexible, especially for those coming back from late shows. But overall, the trade-off is a peaceful night’s sleep away from the post-concert crowds.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Express Latham is a solid choice for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and a quiet retreat after the music fades.
