Anthony Melchiorri, host of The Travel Channel’s “Hotel Impossible” is in Niagara Falls NY this week recording a hotel makeover episode at the Waldorf Niagara located at the corner of Rainbow Boulevard and John Daly Blvd. According to a crew member at the site they arrived in Niagara Falls on Monday and will be shooting the episode throughout the week. The air date for the episode shot in Niagara Falls has not been determined, but speculation is that it should air late Summer, early Fall.
The production includes remodeling rooms with new carpet, paint, fixtures and furniture. Several vans and construction trucks from area contractors were seen in the hotel parking lot and alley.
The fifty-five room Waldorf Niagara features the popular Villella’s Italian Restaurant on the Rainbow Boulevard side of the property and a small indoor swimming pool. The Waldorf Niagara was at one time affiliated with the Super 8 hotel chain.
Melchiorri, who is a twenty year veteran of the hotel industry, was last in the area in 2013 doing a make-over on the Ritz Inn on the Canadian side of the border. That episode aired in October of 2013 on The Travel Channel.
