Modern and welcoming, Homewood Suites By Hilton Buffalo-Amherst offers a relaxed stay just outside central Buffalo.

This all-suite hotel delivers apartment-style comfort with a warm, suburban vibe—perfect for recharging after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love the hotel’s spacious suites and the fact that it’s only a 15-minute drive to top venues like Shea’s Performing Arts Center. With free parking and proximity to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (just 4.3 miles away), it’s easy to get in and out—even for a quick overnight concert trip. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins smooth, and the quieter Amherst location means you can wind down peacefully after the show.

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant onsite, guests appreciate the complimentary hot breakfast—a lifesaver after a late night out. Suites come with kitchenettes for easy late-night snacks, and there’s a grill area outside if you’re up for a casual cookout. Plus, there are plenty of casual dining spots and takeout-friendly restaurants within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, it's easy to hop in a rideshare and head to downtown Buffalo for a lively bar scene. Closer to the hotel, you’ll find laid-back pubs and local breweries for a chill pre- or post-show drink.

What People Say

Reviewers love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere. Many mention the excellent value and convenient location near the airport and University at Buffalo. Guests also appreciate the indoor pool and hot tub—a nice bonus for unwinding after standing through an encore.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors note that the decor feels a bit dated, and the property is more geared toward extended stays than luxury. If you're looking for high-end dining or nightlife on-site, you'll need to venture out.
