Four Points has guestrooms equipped with anticipated traveler essentials—coffee maker, fridge, microwave, iron and board, hairdryer, safe, and TV. The hotel also offers experience the brand’s “Best Brews” program featuring locally sourced craft beers available on tap within the hotel.
Additionally, the hotel has 1,300 square feet of meeting space that can accommodate groups of up to 120 people for small to midsize corporate and social events.
The Four Points by Sheraton Albany is among other recent additions in the region for Gulph Creek Hotels. With the opening of the Residence Inn by Marriott Middletown Goshen and the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Saratoga Springs in 2020, the Gulph Creek management and development company continues to expand its footprint in the region.
“We are thrilled to be operating the new Four Points in the Albany region,” explained Derek Sylvester, principal at Gulph Creek Hotels. “The new prototype provides all the appealing amenities of a full-service hotel—including an attractive bar, full-serve restaurant, and intimate ballroom—while still maintaining a select-service business model. It’s really the best of both worlds.”
