Buffalo Hotels

As New York state's second largest city, Buffalo offers so much for the weekend visitor or for an extended family stay. From intriguing architecture to world-class museums to the stunning natural beauty of Lake Erie and Niagara Falls, the city is a tourist's dream all the year round. Find a Buffalo cheap hotel along Niagara or Porter Avenue in downtown and begin your visit with a walking tour of the city's notable buildings and monuments and multi-cultural neighborhoods, all against the backdrop of the birthplace of the Arts & Crafts Movement.

Shopping is serious business here, and many downtown Buffalo hotels are ideally situated for guests to take advantage of the retail wonderland. Book a hotel around the Kenmore or Tonawanda neighborhoods and embark on a spree of epic proportions. Small shops and flagship stores interspersed with quaint cafes and welcoming pubs and bars make the neighborhoods a hotspot for people watching. For those who need to get their art on, hotels around Front Park and Lakeview will put you within steps of such galleries as CEPA and El Museo, as well as dozens of others.

Wine and Dine

In recent decades, wineries have began to make a huge impact on the tourism biz in Buffalo. The Niagara and Chautaugua wine trails are immensely popular thanks in no small part to their wonderful locations on the lake's edge south of the city, and both are easily accessible from nearly all hotels in Buffalo. And during your tour, be sure to stop at some of the small hamlets and village along the way for a bite to eat and a dose of small town charm. Lastly, no trip to the city would be complete without a day trip to Niagara Falls, just a short drive to the northwest.
