When it comes to successful team building and memorable corporate retreats, the right setting makes all the difference. At Ellicott Hotels, we specialize in helping you plan engaging, productive experiences—but with a key distinction: our full-service team building and activity planning is available exclusively for groups enjoying an overnight stay with us.
Whether you’re looking to escape the everyday routine or spark new ideas, our hotels are ideally situated near some of Western New York’s top attractions. From the heart of Ellicottville at the Wingate, to the boutique luxury of The Giacomo in Niagara Falls, our venues offer flexible meeting spaces, high-speed internet, AV support, and catering options for groups up to 40 people. Our dedicated team will work with you to design a custom retreat that blends business objectives with fun, local experiences—ensuring your group leaves inspired and connected.
If your team is seeking a one-day outing without an overnight stay, we have options tailored just for you. The Giacomo welcomes happy hour groups in its stylish lounge, perfect for casual networking or celebrating team wins. For those wanting a true one-stop destination in downtown Buffalo, 500 Pearl stands out as the ultimate choice. Start with a pre-meeting in one of our private rooms, then move the fun to Spare Lanes bowling alley before capping off the day with drinks at W XYZ Bar or Patrick’s Rooftop. It’s a seamless way to mix business and pleasure, all under one roof.
At Ellicott Hotels, we’re committed to making your next team event effortless and unforgettable—whether you’re planning an immersive overnight retreat or a dynamic day out. Let us help you create the perfect balance of productivity, camaraderie, and fun for your group. Reach out today to start planning your next team building experience with us
