The 88-room Richardson Hotel is an adaptive-reuse that transitioned from an 1870s New York State psychiatric hospital to a historic upscale boutique hotel. The property sits on 40 acres adjacent to Buffalo State University and within close proximity to the Buffalo Zoo, Shea’s Performing Arts Center and Niagara Convention Center. It features a 24-hour fitness center, a business center and more than 7,000 sq. ft. of meeting space.
The 28-luxury suite Roycroft Inn is a historic property that is part of the Roycroft Campus, which was opened in 1897 by Elbert Hubbard, who founded the American Arts & Crafts Movement in East Aurora, NY. In 1905, The Roycroft Inn began welcoming guests and artisans. The campus received National Landmark Historic status in 1986 and underwent an $8-million renovation in 1995. It was reopened to guests in 1995 and features a restaurant and gardens available for life-cycle events.
The 28-room Mansion on Delaware is a 19th-century mansion that transitioned into an upscale hotel and event center. The property is located near Shea’s Performing Arts Center and The Buffalo Science Museum.
