About this stay

A Historic Sanctuary in the Heart of Buffalo

Steeped in history since 1896, Lenox Hotel & Suites offers a timeless retreat in Buffalo’s Allentown district. This 2-star landmark hotel gracefully blends old-world charm with comforting simplicity, inviting guests to slow down and savor a stay brimming with character. Rooms reflect a traditional style, many featuring cozy kitchens and large windows with views that whisper stories of the city’s past.

Set just a short stroll from downtown and celebrated cultural sites—like the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House—the location is a treasure trove for curious travelers. Evenings can be spent by the warm crackle of the fireplace in the casual restaurant and bar, a quietly inviting space to unwind after exploring the vibrant neighborhood.

With a relaxed pace, pet- and kid-friendly amenities, and thoughtful personalized service, Lenox Hotel & Suites stands as a welcoming haven where the pace of modern life slows, and Buffalo’s rich heritage gently unfolds.

“This hotel is thoroughly charming. The customer service was great, staff were great and flexible. It is not for those who want modern fixtures, or a simple box built in the last 10 years. Things creak and bump. It has however been operating since 1896. EIGHTEEN NINETY FREAKING SIX. F Scott Fitzgerald lived here as a child for a few years. It is awash in local history and just…charm. The neighborhood is worth a visit alone. Lots of stuff is...”

“Everyone at the front desk was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond. I loved the history of the building but with that came dated accommodations. The location though was amazing, can't complain about being next to a 24hr Walgreens and plenty of places to eat a drink just a few blocks away.”
