The Gregory House
|

The main building, built around 1830, was once the summer home of financier Elias
Gregory, and was occupied by the Gregory family for many generations. The inn part was
built a mere twelve years ago, blending well with the original structure and retaining the
warmth and charm of its Victorian heritage. The Gregory House now serves hungry and weary
travelers world-wide.
The Inn has twelve well-appointed guest rooms, each with its own
bathroom, air conditioner, telephone, and clock radio. A common room overlooking
the in-ground pool is a place for guests to lounge and relax or visit with old
friends or new found inn friends.
La Perla Ristorante
The restaurant consists of three dining rooms in what was once the living room, bedroom and music room.
|
A fourth dining room has recently been renovated into what is now now called the Contemporary Pub Room, where your hosts serve appetizers, desserts, coffees, and of course all your favorite libations. |
The extensive menu offers a wide range of Italian dishes that will take your breath away at the mere sight of them!
The menu also includes a complete selection of continental cuisine and a "weekly
specials" feature that chef and owner Alfonso Acampora uses to maximize his excellent
creative culinary skills.
The city of Albany and its surrounds is replete with historic sites and cultural events,
as well as its feature as the Capital of New York State. The entire Capital District is
surrounded by the Adirondack, Catskill, Helderberg Green, Taconic and Berkshire mountain
ranges, all of which offer an abundance of summer and winter activities.
The Saratoga resort area, summer home of the New York City Ballet Company at the Saratoga
Performing Arts Center, and Tanglewood, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in
Lenox, Massachusetts, are both less than an hour's drive away.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the oldest engineering school in the country, Russell
Sage College, Siena College and the New York State University at Albany as well as the
famed Emma Willard School for girls are all less than one-half hour away.
The Gregory House has become an ideal place for the business traveler also because of its
proximity to Albany area colleges, schools, and businesses. Meeting rooms are available to
small groups for partial- or full-day meetings.
Like the sage says: "Were it not for a good dinner and a night's rest in a Country
Inn, tomorrow would be but another day."
