Statler

Completed in 1923, the Hotel Statler was the successor to Ellsworth Statler’s first hotel, which opened in Buffalo in 1908. The new hotel’s interiors exemplified the elegant “Statler style” that blended Italian and English Renaissance influences. It also featured the modern innovations, notably a bath in every room, that made Statler hotels the new standard of lodging in America. Douglas Jemal purchased the Statler in 2020 and immediately began improvements to the exterior of the building. Located in the heart of downtown overlooking historic Niagara Square, the grand hotel is now a mixed use building offering hundreds of apartments, entertainment options, and Buffalo’s grandest ballrooms.
