Designed by George B. Post & Sons, the hotel was built in 1924 at a
cost of more than $6,000,000. This beautiful building of 600 rooms
included everything that the nation's leading hotel architects could
include. To quote the brochure published at that time, “Spacious,
beautiful and dignified, the public rooms of the Hotel Syracuse provide
genuine comfort and pleasure for the guests...And the comfort to be
found in the lobby is typical of the entire hotel, with its roomy
chambers, luxurious beds and splendid service.”
In the fall
of 1982, the Hilton Hotel was completed by Greg Ferentino. The Hotel
Syracuse and the Hilton were linked together by an enclosed esplanade.
Sadly, the
Hotel Syracuse closed in 2003. Today the City of Syracuse and potential
developers are looking to revive the historic property as a hotel once
again, as a residential complex, or a combination of both.
