his 5 star, boutique hotel is being built inside of the renovated historical landmark Harlow C. Curtiss Building located at the corner of Franklin and W. Huron Streets in Downtown Buffalo, NY. The hotel is currently scheduled to open in late Summer 2016.
Amenities will include 68 high tech rooms, a rooftop lounge, and a 120 seat fine dining restaurant featuring a revolving bar and patio seating along W. Huron Street. An area adjacent to the planned valet porte cochère and main entrance-way will feature Buffalo's first and only all-weather urban hot springs/Roman Bath experience.
The Harlow C. Curtiss Building is a historic 6 floor, Chicago Commercial / Renaissance Revival style building named for Harlow Clarke Curtiss, a prominent Buffalo attorney and real estate investor. The building bears a resemblance to the works of renowned Chicago architects such as Daniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan, both of whom designed buildings in Buffalo.
The Curtiss Building was designed by Curtiss' brother-in-law - Buffalo architect Paul F. Mann. Construction on the building was started in 1912 and completed in 1913. It is one of the largest terra cotta structures of its type and period in downtown Buffalo.
