DiCienzos buy two hotels
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Niagara’s DiCienzo family has picked up two of the best views of the Horseshoe Falls after buying the Marriott Fallsview and Sheraton Fallsview hotels last week.
“We’ve been looking for acquisitions for a little while. This move seemed to make sense,” said Dino A. DiCienzo, one of four children of patriarch Dino DiCienzo Sr., now involved in the family business.
He wouldn’t disclose how much his family paid to buy them from the family of Cosmo Menechella, another Falls family in the hotel business.
But tax rolls at city hall list the 32-storey Sheraton Fallsview’s assessment at $51.9 million and the 30-storey Marriott Fallsview’s at $66.3 million. Property assessments are supposed to reflect what a property could be sold for on the open market, though sale prices can deviate from assessed values.
The transaction means the DiCienzos have added the two Fallsview area hotels to their holdings on Falls Avenue — the Crowne Plaza and Sheraton on the Falls, as well as the Skyline Inn and Hampton Inn on Victoria Avenue.

‘Progress’ on Casino Niagara lease, but talks ongoing
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ontario Lottery and Gaming and Canadian Niagara Hotels have made progress in talks to keep Casino Niagara in the location it has occupied since 1996, more than two years after Premier Dalton McGuinty told OLG to “get a deal.”
“There has been some positive progress,” said Dino A. DiCienzo, vice-president of Canadian Niagara Hotels, the company that has been the landlord for the government-owned casino since it opened on Falls Avenue.
The two sides met recently, something DiCienzo considers an improvement, considering they went months at a time without any meaningful discussions.
“Now, there has been some positive meeting with more of a community vision for Niagara Falls,” DiCienzo said.
