The Hamilton Hotel, originally built as a school in 1851 and converted to a hotel in 1860s, underwent a multi-million dollar renovation that included the design of a new event space, The Schuyler. The new event spaces merge the hotel with the adjacent Almas Temple, a historic Masonic building originally opened in 1929. Stonehill Taylor’s design was inspired by the site’s rich history, merging the hotel’s original Art Deco and Beaux Arts motifs with a modern twist.
The two-level 6,900 square foot main event space fits up to 700 people in the reception area and can transform to adapt to any kind of event. Because there are no windows in the space, Stonehill Taylor incorporated the illusion of daylight with 12-foot-high lighting features made out of 19 individualized sconces surrounding each of the 8structural columns. The lower level also has four breakout rooms which can be used separately or combined, a VIP green room, and custom staging capabilities.
