Statler Hotel Conference Center Cornell University Ithaca, NY

The Statler Hotel is the showcase for Cornell University’s world-renowned Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration, and, for many visitors, the gateway to the university. Located at the center of Cornell’s beautiful campus—in the heart of the scenic Finger Lakes region of New York State—it has earned the dual distinction as the Ithaca area’s only AAA Four Diamond Award-winning property and the Ivy League’s only “teaching hotel.”

The Statler Conference Center renovation encompass the redesign of spaces on the First Floor of the Statler Hotel. These include the Conference Foyer and seven Conference Rooms, totaling approximately 7,500 square feet. The project focused on enhancing natural light and visitor flow by raising ceilings, widening corridors, and introducing acoustic glazed partitions. The project involves new lighting, new finishes, new doors, new built-in serving counters and new state of the art AV systems.
