SYRACUSE, N.Y.
The Tapestry Collection by Hilton announced the conversion and launch of its first property, Hotel Skyler Syracuse, a 58-room University Hill hotel within walking distance of many attractions, including Syracuse University, Carrier Dome and Upstate University Hospital. Built in 1922 to house the Temple Adath Yeshurun congregation, and later home to Salt City Center for the Performing Arts, the eco-friendly hotel was the city's first to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
"With its storied history, contemporary style and eco-friendly focus, Hotel Skyler Syracuse perfectly embodies the independent spirit of our newest brand," said Mark Nogal, global head, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. "Our first hotel illustrates how the collection encourages hotels to preserve what makes them original while also offering new opportunities for our guests to enjoy [Hilton amenities].”
The brand is also celebrating the launch of its partnership with Youth Service America. The organizations have aligned to support young people through the #LeadASAP Tapestry Collection Spark the Arts Campaign, which will activate youth to use their "spark" for the arts to improve their communities.
In addition to the YSA partnership, as one of only five LEED Platinum certified hotels in the U.S., and 11 in the world, Hotel Skyler Syracuse is committed to sustainability in its appliances, utilities and design.
For example, room keys activate lights as well as heating/cooling, which power down when guests exit the room. Low-flow fixtures in guest bathrooms aid in water efficiency, and organic fabrics, low-emission carpeting and non-toxic housekeeping products are also utilized in guest rooms.
