– February
16, 2012 – Driftwood
Hospitality Management today announced their latest property addition –
the
Holiday Inn Albany Airport - Wolf Road. The 312-room hotel, ideally
located in
the heart of Tech Valley, is the ninth addition to Driftwood’s
portfolio since
November 2011 and expected to quickly emerge as a hotbed of business
travel
activity. “This type of property is exactly what Driftwood is looking for, not only because of its specific amenities and offerings, but also its prime location,” said Brian Quinn, Executive Vice President of Driftwood Hospitality Management. “The asset is perfectly positioned and with the right guidance, and the Driftwood touch, we believe it can become a business travel hotspot.” The Holiday Inn Albany Airport – Wolf Road is centrally located just one mile from the Albany International Airport and six miles from the sprawling downtown Albany, which features the recently renovated Colonie Center Mall, Times Union Center Stadium and the historic and lively Central Avenue – a three mile strip of dining, nightlife and boutique shops. Recently recognized as one of the “Top 20 Best Cities for Job Growth” among medium-sized cities, by NewGeography.com, the Albany area is perfectly aligned for future business development. Home to world-class educational, tech and research facilities, as well as a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, Albany is the ideal year-round destination of choice for numerous industries. Located in the Capital District and the heart of Tech Valley, business travelers are prone to visit the all-American town. The Holiday Inn Albany Airport – Wolf Road takes this audience into account with a 24-hour business center and 13 meeting rooms, catering services and free Internet. These simple, practical conveniences make The Holiday Inn in Albany the perfect property to visit, whether in town for meetings at General Electric, the area’s hospitals or acclaimed universities. “Throughout our entire staff, the level of energy on the ground here in Albany is high,” said General Manager Cynthia Stanley, who has been with the property for more than two years. “I’m delighted with what we’ve seen from Driftwood thus far. Knowing the tools Driftwood brings to the table, I have no doubt our hotel will continue its growth amongst business, leisure and group travelers.” For more information about Driftwood, visit www.TheDriftwoodDifference.com.
