Run by three generations of the Patterson family, the hotel blends legacy and personal service, earning loyal guests from around the world. This same care is echoed across the Patterson Hospitality Group's other properties, Hotel Montreal in Central Christchurch and Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel where the Patterson family's legacy of warmth and attentive service continues.

ROC the Riverway improvements complete in Aqueduct District in Rochester
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Tuesday, a central piece of the ROC the Riverway initiative is complete in downtown Rochester, as street improvements are now done in the Aqueduct District. Roads and walkways, lighting, and signs have been upgraded on Aqueduct Street, Graves Street, and the surrounding areas. Some of the bricks in Aqueduct Park had been untouched for a hundred years, according to city officials on-site. Millions of dollars awarded to projects in Webster, Macedon Aqueduct Park and the district are across the river from the Convention Center and the Riverside Hotel, and right behind Constellation Brands, so this area is sandwiched between hundreds of millions of dollars in city, state, and private funds. This new area will better connect the quadrants of the City, with better access to small businesses, and more. Two Rochester optics leader join forces, to grow operations 'What we are consistently and regularly doing, not just in downtown but across the City, is filling in the gaps,' said City Councilman Michael Patterson. 'Those years, decades, of disinvestment, destruction, tearing down and creating empty spaces, of empty sidewalks, are coming to an end.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
