Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the ribbon cutting for The Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls, part of a more than $20 million mixed-use development project. The seven-story, 120-room upscale hotel brand, which is located on Rainbow Boulevard, also includes three new residential guest houses on Buffalo Avenue. The hotel’s opening coincides with an exciting summer season planned at New York State Parks, Old Falls Street and across the region following the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. The Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls was developed by Plati Niagara Inc., which also owns a Wingate by Wyndham in Niagara Falls. See pictures of Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls here

“Niagara Falls attracts millions from around the globe, making it one of New York’s most visited tourism destinations, and the historic city is gearing up for an exciting summer season,” Governor Hochul said. “With the new Cambria Hotel Niagara Falls now open, this world-class destination takes another step towards elevating the visitor experience and allowing the region to better showcase its natural beauty and all it has to offer."  

Located at 311 Rainbow Boulevard in downtown Niagara Falls, the hotel is only two blocks from the world-famous Niagara Falls State Park, which welcomes nine million visitors annually. Guests are able to take advantage of popular attractions that allow visitors to get closer to the Falls, whether by descending into the Niagara Gorge at the Cave of the Winds or visiting the nearby Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant to see how the Falls serves as a hydroelectric power source. They can also stroll along Old Falls Street and Third Street to visit shops and restaurants. New York State is committed to maintaining Niagara Falls as a world-class tourism hub and gateway to New York State. With the construction of best-in-class accommodation amenities, the state’s efforts are making it easier for the region to showcase its beauty to visitors from all ends of the globe. Total hotel nights in downtown Niagara Falls saw a 14 percent increase from 2021 to 2023, while occupancy rates grew by 8 percent for the same time period.” 

Plati Niagara Inc. Co-Owner Frank Strangio said, “We’re thrilled to open the doors of Cambria Niagara Falls and welcome guests to experience our blend of local charm and upscale amenities. As a family deeply rooted in the community, we take genuine pride in creating memorable experiences for each of our guests. This new venture represents our humble contribution to the vibrant Niagara Falls community, and we’re eager to share it with you.”
