The Starwood group is now building two hotels in Syracuse’s Inner Harbor. Word of the second hotel came at the groundbreaking of the first. With developers and dignitaries on hand for the groundbreaking of an Aloft Hotel in Syracuse’s Inner Harbor, Jeremy Cooper of Starwood Hotels made an announcement."In addition to this groundbreaking, another Starwood Hotel is being built right here in the Inner Harbor. The Element Syracuse Inner Harbor Hotel is expected to open in 2018," said Cooper.The Element will sit next to the Aloft on the southeast corner of the property, which is being redeveloped by COR as part of a $350 million mixed-use project. Cooper says while the Aloft will be a traditional hotel, the Element is intended as a longer-stay property, with kitchenettes and larger suites, and is geared towards visitors who have an interest in sustainability."From the construction materials all the way through, using reclaimed materials and so forth, to build the hotel," Cooper explained.
