Hotel Henry, once a former insane asylum, transformed into an upscale hotel in Buffalo, NY, has closed its doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The sprawling building was named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Greatest Places in the World in 2018. The 88-room hotel, located on the National Historic Landmark Richardson Olmsted Campus, became a popular spot to get married, have baby showers, book a getaway and dine at their 100 Acres restaurant.
