The Mansion on Delaware Avenue

"This French-inspired mansion, originally the private home of industrialist Charles F. Sternberg, was built in the late 19th century and eventually converted into a 28-room luxury hotel. Today, it's one of the best in Buffalo, with renovated rooms in a palette of navy, salmon, and brown filled with contemporary furniture and original details such as grand fireplaces. The public areas take on a more period-style feel with elaborate ceilings and fireplaces, though they, too, have been modernized with bright colors and smart furniture." - Stefanie Waldek
