The St. Nicholas Hotel

The St. Nicholas Hotel is a historic boutique hotel located at 304 North Washington Street in downtown Albany, Georgia, originally completed in 1908 and recently reopened in 2026 following a comprehensive restoration. The hotel features 26 guest rooms across its top two floors, along with Harry’s bar and 1906 restaurant on the ground level, creating a destination that blends preserved architectural heritage with modern hospitality and dining. Notably, the property is the birthplace of legendary bandleader Harry James in 1916, and its restoration represents a significant revitalization effort for Albany’s historic downtown district.
