US.- Turning Stone Resort Casino in New York will celebrate the opening of The Crescent, its new 258-room hotel, on July 17, and the debut of its new restaurant, Salt, on July 22. The hotel will welcome its first guests on June 29, having started accepting reservations in January.
The Crescent and Salt are part of the $400m Turning Stone Evolution project to renovate the resort. A third addition, The Grand Expo, is set to open on Labour Day. Reservations for Salt will go live later this month.
The resort’s fourth hotel on the property features 258 guest rooms with modern furnishings and luxury amenities, with access to the resort’s spas, wellness programmes, restaurants, entertainment, golf and gaming. It will also house Rome Health Convenient Care at Turning Stone, an on-site medical centre.
Salt occupies the entire seventh floor of The Crescent, featuring two terraces for outdoor dining and four private dining rooms. The restaurant has been developed in partnership with Elizabeth Blau of Blau & Associates, who has previously worked with Turning Stone on other dining concepts.
Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative and CEO of Turning Stone Enterprises, said: “As we prepare to become New York’s largest meetings and conventions resort destination, it was essential that we elevated every aspect of the Turning Stone experience. The Crescent and Salt reflect our commitment to delivering a level of luxury and hospitality that rivals the finest destinations in the world.
“Elizabeth Blau has helped shape some of our most celebrated dining experiences over the years because she understands what makes Turning Stone special. She helped bring our vision for Salt to life–a restaurant that reimagines fine dining for today’s guest while staying true to the hospitality and service that have always defined Turning Stone.”
Elizabeth Blau, CEO of Blau & Associates, added: “The guest experience at Salt will be unlike anything else in the Northeast with every detail considered to deliver an immersive and unique gastronomic journey with culinary inspiration drawn from the land and sea. I’m thrilled to be working with the Turning Stone team again to raise the bar even further and create one of the country’s most unique and exceptional restaurants.”
