The Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center announces its open house, to be held on April 27 from 3-6 p.m. to reveal its recent renovations. The open house will feature guided tours, refreshments and live entertainment.
A special media conference along with a guided tour and reception will precede the open house event at 2:30 p.m. in the main lobby. Please RSVP for this special media event at sheratonnews@sheratonsyracuse.com.
The hotel has been undergoing renovations since December 2010, with completed updates to 235 guest rooms, the club lounge and fitness center. These renovations are part of the $3.5 million project that includes the remaining renovations to Rachel’s restaurant, the bar Seasons and the front desk, to be completed by the end of December.
The renovations are part of a larger $4 billion project established by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. The theme featured at the Sheraton Syracuse is a “return to regency,” which incorporates rich colors and textures from floor to ceiling. The design maintains a classic look while still offering the comfort of modern amenities.
On the list of modern amenities, a number of updates were developed with an eco-friendly mind. Such updates include CFL lighting, low-flow plumbing and the Guest Energy Management (GEM) System.
Questions regarding the event should be directed to Richard Duda, Director of Sales & Marketing, 315-477-8204, rduda@sheratonsyracuse.com.
