Genesee Building/Hyatt Regency Hotel is a 15-story tall hotel building in Buffalo, New York that was built as the Hyatt Regency Hotel in 1922 [2] by architects E.B. Green and William S. Wicks. [3]
The building was originally built as the Genesee Building in 1811 as a quick way-station for people like farmers carrying livestock, it wasn't until 1842 when it would be rebuilt as a 5-story tall brick hotel and then in 1881 it was remodeled into The Genesee Hotel. [4]
In the 1980s the building was under-utilizied but a local developer named Paul Snyder decided to incorporate the building into the Hyatt business. [5]
On 1 June 2022, the building was no longer affiliated with Hyatt. [6] This came after its closure in March 2022 after the COVID-19 pandemic which caused the building to lose a lot of revenue. [7]
