Waldorf Niagara Hotel Is Now DoubleTree by… — Hotel Impossible Update

Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured the Waldorf Niagara Hotel in Niagara Falls, New York, in the episode 'Dirty Water Falls,' which aired 2015-10-06 (S6E6). The Travel Channel series, hosted by Anthony Melchiorri, works with independently run hotels and motels on operational and guest-experience problems. The property sits at 401 Buffalo Avenue in Niagara Falls. The address no longer carries the Waldorf Niagara Hotel name. Hilton's own site for the location lists it as the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Niagara Falls New York, with the same 401 Buffalo Avenue address, current room booking pages, and hotel-information listings.

Niagarafallsusa.com, a regional tourism directory, and Merani Hotel Group, which lists the property among the hotels it operates, likewise identify the address as a DoubleTree by Hilton property rather than the Waldorf Niagara Hotel featured on the show. Google Places carries the DoubleTree location as operational at the same coordinates. Merani Hotel Group's own site describes itself as the management company behind several branded hotels, including this DoubleTree location, suggesting the property is run under a hotel-management and franchise arrangement rather than as an independent inn as shown on the program.

No dated source reviewed across the show specifies the month or year the property was reflagged from Waldorf Niagara Hotel to DoubleTree by Hilton, or whether the change involved a change in ownership. A site check on 2026-09-09 could not load a page for the old Waldorf Niagara Hotel name.
