Spacious Comfort Just Minutes from Albany’s Music Scene

Modern and practical, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Albany Downtown/Medical Center offers all-suite accommodations in a convenient spot just a 15-minute walk from some of the city’s best-known venues. Whether you're here for a show at The Egg or an event at Empire State Plaza, this hotel blends comfort and accessibility with a low-key, extended-stay vibe.
Rooms come with full kitchens, dining areas, and flat-screen TVs—perfect for pre-show snacks or post-concert wind-downs. Add in an indoor pool, hot tub, and a cozy sun terrace, and you’ve got a stay that’s both relaxing and functional.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers—within walking distance of major performance venues like The Egg and the Empire State Plaza Convention Center. After the encore, head back to a quiet, residential-feeling neighborhood for a restful night. With a generous 12:00 pm checkout, you won’t have to rush out the door after a late night. The hotel also offers free bikes—a great way to get around if you’re exploring before showtime.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want shared suites with space to hang out
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a romantic music-filled weekend
• Fans seeking peace and quiet after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a buffet or à la carte breakfast, served late enough for those who sleep in. While there’s no full restaurant on-site, every room has a kitchen and fridge, and the hotel offers a grill for DIY meals. Walkable options near the medical center and downtown provide plenty of quick eats and sit-down dining. Room service isn’t 24/7, but in-room dining options make up for it.

Nightlife Options

No live music at the hotel itself, but you’re just blocks from Albany’s downtown bars, lounges, and late-night spots. From craft cocktail lounges to casual pubs, the area has something for every post-show mood.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the convenient location. Travelers particularly love the kitchenettes and the quiet atmosphere, even when the city’s buzzing with events. The indoor pool and hot tub also get high marks for post-concert relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

If you're hoping for a full-service restaurant or bar on-site, you might be disappointed. Some guests mention that the decor feels more functional than trendy—but most agree it’s a solid trade-off for the space and amenities you get.

The Bottom Line

With walkable access to concerts, spacious rooms, and quiet comfort, TownePlace Suites is a top pick for music fans who want to enjoy the show and still get a good night’s sleep.
