The Albany County Airport Authority is considering the possibility of locating a brand-name hotel on the airport property.


Airport Authority CEO Philip Calderone announced Friday that the authority will conduct a feasibility study of locating a hotel on the north side of Albany-Shaker Road, on land controlled by the Albany International Airport.


"Today's travelers are seeking overnight lodging in close proximity to airport terminals and parking," Calderone said. "An on-site, brand-named hotel would provide convenient access to the terminal while offering meeting rooms and a high-end restaurant to meet the needs of our region's business and leisure travelers."
