The Mansion on Delaware

One of Buffalo's recent success stories, this 1860s Second-Empire-style building was brought back from the brink of complete collapse to become the city's swankiest place to stay. Blending right in with the elegant homes on Millionaire's Row, the griffin-guarded mansion only betrays its business with the tiniest of signs -- without it you'd never expect to be allowed inside. However, once the doors open, the friendly staff will make you feel like a VIP. The interiors are magnificent, with gorgeous black walnut fireplace mantels, detailed plaster moldings, and ornate pocket doors. The superb service, and the sleekly designed rooms -- with very modern furniture, workstations, and amenities -- have attracted everyone from Hillary Clinton to Kiefer Sutherland. The "grand" rooms are larger and worth the extra money, and though suites are a little too small for two separate rooms, they come decked out with fireplaces and plasma TVs. We recommend no. 200, a "premium grand" room with high ceilings and huge floor-to-ceiling bay windows; and no. 212, cozy and quietly situated in the back, with a fireplace.
