The Westin Buffalo awarded prestigious AAA Four Diamond Rating

BUFFALO, N.Y. (Oct. 30, 2024) – Delaware North today announced that The Westin Buffalo, the company-owned-and-operated hotel at its global headquarters, has been awarded the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Rating for the eighth year in a row.

AAA Western and Central New York on Oct. 16 presented the company with the award at a ceremony held at Casa Larga Vineyards in Fairport, N.Y.

The Westin Buffalo is one of only two Four Diamond hotels in Buffalo and had to pass a rigorous evaluation that included unscheduled visits from AAA’s expert inspectors.

“We strive to provide our guests with an exceptional experience featuring best-in-class amenities while they are visiting Buffalo,” said Tom Long, general manager of The Westin Buffalo. “We are honored to receive the Four Diamond rating again this year, which is the direct result of our team’s dedication and commitment each day.”

The prestigious rating was awarded in recognition of The Westin Buffalo’s refined, stylish and upscale physical attributes, an extensive array of amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail.

The hotel has consistently delivered excellent hospitality to its guests since opening in 2016 and has received numerous awards over the last eight years, including Marriott International’s Hotel of the Year for the Americas in the Distinctive Premium category, Brand Culture award and Operational Excellence award.

Delaware North continues to invest in the property, which is currently undergoing a full-but-phased renovation of all 115 guest rooms, slated for completion in 2025. The Westin Buffalo also features Delaware North’s Patina Restaurant Group locations Jake’s Café and Patina 250, and a large courtyard that regularly hosts happy hours and special events, including the popular Guest Chef Series, an immersive dining experience showcasing local culinary talent.
