Buffalo Marriott at LECOM HARBORCENTER

Modern comfort steps from the stage

Buffalo Marriott at LECOM HARBORCENTER is a sleek, contemporary hotel in the heart of downtown Buffalo, just a few hundred feet from major concert venues like First Niagara Center. With modern rooms offering city or lake views, on-site dining, and upscale touches like 55" flat-screen TVs and in-room refrigerators, it's a stylish and convenient stay for music lovers looking to be close to the action.

Whether you're coming in for a high-energy show or a full weekend of events, this hotel puts you right in the center of the city's entertainment district.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t get much closer—First Niagara Center is just a few minutes' walk away, making post-show strolls back to your room a breeze. Despite the central location, rooms are well-insulated for a quiet night’s sleep. With flexible check-in at 4:00 PM and a checkout time of 11:00 AM, there’s just enough wiggle room for a relaxed departure the morning after. Plus, being downtown means easy access to rideshares and public transit late into the night.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a convenient, upscale base
Solo travelers attending a bucket-list concert
Couples making a romantic music-filled weekend of it
Fans who appreciate a quieter, more comfortable space after the show
Budget-conscious music fans who want value with style

Food and Drink Options

The on-site bar and restaurant offer great city views and are perfect for a pre-show bite or late-night snack. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the in-room fridges make it easy to stash leftovers or cold drinks. Downtown Buffalo also has plenty of eateries within walking distance, and breakfast is available for those slower, sleep-in mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t feature its own live music, you're steps away from Buffalo’s entertainment district, including bars, lounges, and local breweries. The hotel’s own lounge offers a more relaxed atmosphere and a solid cocktail menu for winding down.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the exceptional location for concerts, noting how easy it is to walk to the venue. Reviews also highlight the clean, modern rooms and friendly staff. The city and lake views score high marks, especially for those looking to snap a post-show photo or two.

Areas for Improvement

WiFi in rooms comes with a fee unless you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member, which can be a slight downside for those expecting free connectivity throughout. Also, parking is available but not included in the room rate—something to factor into your budget.

The Bottom Line

Buffalo Marriott at LECOM HARBORCENTER is a prime pick for concert-goers wanting a stylish, well-located stay just steps from Buffalo’s biggest music venues.
