Douglas Jemal Sells Boutique Hotels | Buffalo News

Douglas Jemal’s boutique hotel empire is shrinking as he sells the Mansion on Delaware and Roycroft Inn for $6.5 million, freeing him to focus on Buffalo’s big-ticket projects like the Statler. The historic properties, recently acquired by Jemal to stabilize and upgrade, are now under Visions Hotels — a 66-property operator specializing in mid-to-upper-scale hospitality. They’ll keep current staff, make modest tech upgrades, and preserve the hotels’ unique charm, even using them to train the next generation of their family business. For Jemal, it’s a strategic retreat from overextension; for Visions, a smart expansion into distinctive, independent properties. The deal? Fast-tracked after a chance meeting.
