Hotel Syracuse

The hotel was closed in 2004 and underwent a $60 million restoration project. It re-opened for business in the spring of 2016 with 261 guest rooms and all major historic spaces returned to their former grandeur by John Tiedemann Inc.

John Tiedemann Inc. was commissioned to restore the ornamental plaster in the hotel along with an extensive restoration of the historic decorative finishes and mural conservation in three rooms – the Grand Ballroom, the Main Lobby, and the Persian Terrace. While working on the decorative finishes, JTI observed serious delamination of layers of the three-coat plaster ceiling in the upper level of the Persian Terrace. After reattaching the delaminated layers of plaster with injections of acrylic resin, JTI/HPCS USA consolidated the plaster and metal lath from a blind location. With all the historic decorative finishes and mural conservation this project entailed, the hotel looks great again and re-opened to tremendous fanfare.
