The hotel was conceived and developed by Buffalo Development Corporation president and CEO Mark Croce, who undertook a project to transform a 57,000ft2 former terra cotta office building into a six-storey Curtiss Hotel.

Croce was quoted by Buffalo’s NPR News Station WBFO as saying: "This is the most spectacular hospitality project in Western New York and maybe all of New York State right now.

"Everywhere you look there's something fantastic to look at. Paul LaMorticella, international designer, has spent the last two years crisscrossing the country to find unique pieces that you can't find anywhere." 

About 14 guest rooms are on each of the second through fifth floors of the hotel while the sixth floor has only 12, according to Buffalo News.
