“Hotel Syracuse” first kicked things off this year with a 1920’s themed New Year’s party , throwing it back to 1924, when the hotel opened. Now, those who want to explore the century year old hotel and its history can visit the new exhibit.
“The hotel opened in 1924 with the support of the Syracuse community. Hotel Syracuse was the place to be.

The hotel’s design and services often changed with the times,” stated OHA.
