Remington Hospitality has assumed management of the Hyatt Regency Buffalo Hotel and Conference Center in downtown Buffalo, the company announced, and plans to renovate guestrooms, corridors and meeting spaces in the coming months.
Property overview and planned work
The full-service, 396-room hotel sits adjacent to the Buffalo Convention Center and includes a covered walkway providing direct access to the center. The property also offers ten meeting spaces totaling more than 20,000 square feet, along with on-site dining, a fitness center, an indoor pool and business services.
Remington Hospitality said it will begin renovations in guestrooms, corridors and the hotel’s meeting-space inventory. Company executives framed the work as part of a strategy to enhance the property’s performance and long-term value.
“The Hyatt Regency Buffalo represents the type of asset we are focused on adding as we continue to expand our third-party management portfolio,” Ben Perelmuter, chief executive officer of Dallas-based Remington Hospitality, said in a statement. “The hotel’s extensive meeting capabilities and downtown location position it for long-term success. We look forward to partnering with ownership to build on the property’s strengths, enhance operational performance and create long-term value.”
What the change means for Buffalo
The management transition and upcoming renovations are notable for Buffalo’s hospitality and convention market. The hotel’s direct connection to the convention center and its substantial meeting capacity make it a key venue for conferences, trade shows and group events held downtown. Upgrades to guestrooms and public spaces could affect the city’s ability to attract and host events that depend on modern lodging and meeting facilities.
Local businesses that rely on convention traffic — from restaurants to transportation and retail — could see changes in demand as the property updates and repositions itself. Renovation activity may also influence short-term availability of rooms and meeting space while work is underway.

For Buffalo, the move may signal renewed investment interest in downtown lodging and convention infrastructure. City officials and local stakeholders who monitor tourism, hospitality and economic development will likely watch the renovation timeline and any changes to event booking and room availability as the property readies itself for the next phase under Remington Hospitality’s oversight.

As renovations proceed, event planners and guests should monitor updates from the hotel regarding room inventory, meeting-space availability and any temporary changes to amenities or services.
