SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Crews worked Tuesday morning to install restored chandeliers in two areas of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown, the new name of the former Hotel Syracuse.
Workers from Syracuse–based Associated Industrial Riggers Corp. and Seymour, Connecticut–based Grand Lighting installed nearly 20 chandeliers between the hotel’s lobby and the Persian Terrace, a ballroom inside the facility.
“The chandeliers are really proof that the hotel’s coming back together and really starting to put the decorative features back into ballrooms,” says Paul McNeil, general manager of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown.
Grand Light specializes in historic lighting restoration, custom lighting, and lighting replication, says Ryan Stockman, VP of Grand Light.
“All these fixtures have been modified … to accommodate a safety cable in the event that there’s ever a problem with where they are mounted electrically,” says Stockman.
Grand Light spent six months restoring the chandeliers, he adds.
The refurbished Marriott Syracuse Downtown is targeting a July 4 opening, according to McNeil.
