From Buffalo Business First:
With a nod to an elegant past, the Hotel Giacomo will welcome its first guests just before the Thanksgiving holiday week.
By all accounts, the hotel’s opening is a significant moment in Niagara Falls history. It represents the rebirth of an architectural icon that dominates the skyline but also stands as a prime example of new, private-sector investment in the Cataract City.
The 20-story, former United Office Building had been vacant since the early 1980s and represented something else entirely. It was considered an urban planning eyesore until top bidder Ellicott Development Co. took a nearly $7.2 million risk to bring it back to life.

Hi,
Though Niagara Falls has a complete array of hotels from luxury to cheap, I had always wanted it to come up with some landmark & truly magnificent hotel. Now that we have one such hotel opening up soon,I’ll surely be one of the frequently visiting guests of the hotel.
