Marriott Syracuse Downtown Leads Region in High-Tech Conference Space

April 20, 2016

State-of-the-art, built-in audio and video systems and flexible conference rooms built for groups of 10–600 participants highlight the newly renovated meeting and conference spaces at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. The most technologically advanced meeting space in the region, the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts, has been awarded membership into the International Association of Conference Centres (IACC). Members of IACC need to meet the highest quality standards in room design, food and beverage services and meeting technology.

“IACC accreditation supports all our hard work to create a premier meeting space in the region,” said Paul McNeil, general manager for the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. “In partnership with the Oncenter, the city of Syracuse can now offer meeting-goers luxury accommodations in a state-of-the-art historic hotel, within one block of a major convention center.”

Modern design, skilled staff members, upscale dedicated food and beverage services and state-of-the-art high-tech services that exceed IACC standards were designed to provide meeting and conference planners a level of service that is practiced by the best meeting facilities in the world.

Specific high-tech meeting and conference services include:

  • High-speed wireless Internet
  • Built-in video systems with the latest LCD/LED technology to accommodate presentations and videoconferences
  • Dedicated tie lines to route audio, video and data signals to and from conference rooms
  • Advanced acoustics engineering designed to reduce unwanted sounds and noise
  • Point-source speakers in each conference room which can easily be controlled by the presenter

The Marriott Syracuse Downtown (formerly Hotel Syracuse) is a historic hotel originally opened in 1924, closed in 2004. The Hotel Syracuse Restoration Company is renovating the property to integrate the landmark’s historical components with modern amenities. The hotel is the official headquarters hotel for the Onondaga County Convention Center. The property will have 261 guest rooms, more than 41,000 sf of event space including a completely modernized Finger Lakes ballroom, two historic ballrooms, five distinctive in-house restaurants and bars, and eight IACC-certified meeting spaces.
