BUFFALO, N.Y.
Westin Hotels & Resorts, a Starwood brand, announced the opening of The Westin Buffalo in partnership with the hotel's owner and operator, Delaware North. Located in the heart of the resurging downtown Buffalo, the newly-built Westin hotel is the brand's first in the city.
"With the revival of downtown Buffalo and new energy in the city, we are thrilled to introduce a unique wellness proposition for business and leisure travelers, as only Westin can," said Bob Jacobs, vice president of brand management, North America, Westin Hotels & Resorts.
With 116 guest rooms and suites, The Westin Buffalo is thoughtfully-designed with a focus on biophilia, which suggests that a connection to nature enhances well-being. Meandering pathways guide guests through the public spaces, building on the idea that there are no straight lines in nature. The design also includes an extension of the brand's Vertical Garden, which brings an innovative design approach.
All guest rooms and suites feature the Westin Heavenly Bed with lush sheets, down cushioning and a patented pillow-top mattress, as well as the brand's Heavenly Bath, Heavenly Shower, Heavenly Robe and White Tea Aloe bath amenities. Located at 250 Delaware Ave, the intimate, five story hotel occupies the lower half of owner and operator Delaware North's new global headquarters. The hotel also features 7,300 square feet of versatile meeting and event space and an outdoor courtyard.
The hotel's signature restaurant, Patina 250, offers refined cuisine with a devotion to wood-fired cooking in a casually sophisticated, lounge-like atmosphere. For more casual fare dining, Jake's Café is a bistro-like setting, offering Westin brand's signature SuperFoodsRX menu.
Both restaurants are operated by Delaware North's Patina Restaurant Group.
Located at the nexus of the city's business and entertainment districts, The Westin Buffalo is also convenient to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and several major attractions, including the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, Key Bank Center (home of the NHL Buffalo Sabres), and Canalside, Buffalo's newly redeveloped waterfront. The hotel is easily accessible from both the New York State Thruway (I-90) and Interstate I-190 and is about 10 miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF).
