I am a Syracuse native, who continues to support our community in various artistic venues. As a professional musician, I have many memories of Hotel Syracuse, and the Grand Ballroom. As a young child, I remember the grandeur of the ballroom: participating in dance conventions and later entertaining at formal functions and attending weddings. Everyone danced! Many musicians and hotel attendees can relate to the opulence and special moments at Hotel Syracuse. May it live on in its authentic restoration and new era of renaissance.
