About The Albion

A Restored Summit Landmark Since 1868

Since 1868, The Albion has served as a cornerstone of Summit’s social and cultural fabric.
When by Landmark founders Jeanne and Frank Cretella acquired the property, the mandate was the same one that has guided every by Landmark restoration: honor what the building was while maintaining a vision for what it could be. The original architecture was preserved, the historic details were kept, and The Albion’s now signature event spaces were redesigned without overwriting the building’s legacy.

Historic preservation, boutique reinvention, and elevated hospitality now define The Albion’s next chapter, offering couples a venue rooted in authenticity yet designed for contemporary luxury.

As part of the By Landmark portfolio, The Albion joins an acclaimed collection of destination venues known for emotional resonance, architectural significance, and unforgettable guest experiences.
