Marriott Syracuse Downtown

The historic Hotel Syracuse, located in Syracuse, New York, was designed by renowned hotel designer William Stone Post of George B. Post & Sons of New York City in 1921 with the hotel built from 1922-1924. The 91-year old hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

Grand Light designed and fabricated an amazing array of custom chandeliers and wall sconces for the Persian Terrace based on a historic photograph. A key element for the new fixtures was to assure that all of the colors that were being applied during this process were historically accurate, and closely matched the original fixtures style and aesthetics, as well as to compliment the colors of the ornate faux wood appearance and original hand painted images.

In addition to these custom chandeliers and wall sconces, the project required the restoration of the historic lighting ranging from large chandeliers, wall sconces and ceiling lights.
