You’re just a short walk or quick ride from Buffalo’s major music venues, making this a perfect base for concert nights.

Food and Drink Options

Start the night with a bite at the hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar, or head out to the many eateries in the walkable Canalside area.

Nightlife Options

The hotel is surrounded by Buffalo’s lively downtown nightlife, from laid-back pubs to buzzing clubs. Although there's no live music in the hotel itself, the on-site bar is a great spot to sip something local before heading out. Walkable access to lounges and bars means your night doesn’t have to end when the concert does.
