Residence
The Joy Gottesman Ungerleider Hostel
The Albright’s residence, comprising a hostel and two apartments, is a great option for academics, researchers, professionals and scholars coming to the region, and is where our fellows are housed each year. You will be in a supportive, research-oriented environment within a community of resident fellows. Our services and facilities allow you to focus on your work and maximize your time. Stay a few nights or an entire semester! We warmly welcome families at the Albright.
The hostel features five single occupancy rooms and seven double occupancy rooms (three doubles and four twins), all with en-suit bathrooms. We also have two on-site apartments, the “Garden Apartment” and the “Balcony Apartment” (see below for amenities). The apartments are a good choice for families. Infants and children cannot be accommodated in the hostel rooms. Pets are not permitted at the Albright. The Albright is a nonsmoking facility.
