What’s New
Part One of the Erie Harbor Place project is currently underway. This dynamic mixed-use development plan will change the face of Erie's Bayfront. It includes corporate offices, a restaurant, hotels, retail shops, parking garages, an outdoor ice-skating rink, condominiums and apartments.
Construction on Harbor Place also includes a brand-new Hampton Inn and Suites that will feature an indoor/outdoor restaurant, bar and event space, along with 95 guest rooms that include 31 suites. The addition of this new hotel will bring the total of hotel rooms along Erie’s Bayfront to over 500.
Another component of the Bayfront is called Bayfront Landing, which is comprised of the Bayfront Convention Center and two attached hotels - The Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel and the Courtyard Marriott Bayfront. All together the complex offers nearly 400 hotel rooms, on-site restaurants, and 128,000-square feet of combined meeting space at the convention center.
