The Giacomo
A big celebration was held in Niagara Falls this week for the grand opening of the Hotel Giacomo. The luxury, boutique hotel has 38 rooms, along with residential and office space in the old United Office Building on 1st Street in Niagara Falls, NY. Yes, on the New York side. We too often hear about new attractions or developments on the Canadian side of the border. But public officials in Niagara Falls like Mayor Paul Dyster say this project will boost Niagara Falls, USA’s image. "This is a milestone in the redevelopment of downtown Niagara Falls," he said. "The tremendous success of this project shows what happen when the community refuses to give up on its great historic buildings and finds the right developer to get the job done."
