Turning Stone to celebrate grand opening of new hotel16 June 2026(PRESS RELEASE) -- Turning Stone Resort Casino will celebrate the grand opening of The Crescent, the resort’s new 258-room luxury hotel, on 17 July and the debut of Salt, the highly-anticipated fine-dining restaurant, on 22 July. Turning Stone also announced today that it is teaming up again with Elizabeth Blau, a legendary restaurant developer and strategist known for shaping top dining destinations in Las Vegas and across the world, to develop the Salt experience. Blau’s touches will be found throughout the showstopping menu, innovative cocktails and guest journey. Reservations for the restaurant will go live at the end of next week. The Crescent, Salt and The Grand Expo (opening Labor Day) are part of the $400 million Turning Stone Evolution, which is transforming Turning Stone into New York’s largest meetings and conventions resort. “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,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative and CEO of Turning Stone Enterprises. "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.” “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,” said Elizabeth Blau, CEO of Blau & Associates. “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.” The Crescent Hotel is delivering a new state of luxury. The resort’s fourth hotel on property features 258 refined guest rooms decorated with modern textures, furniture and luxury amenities. The hotel provides seamless access to Turning Stone Resort Casino’s world-class spas and wellness programs, restaurants, entertainment, golf and gaming. It will also be home to Rome Health Convenient Care at Turning Stone, an on-site medical center offering high-quality care for guests and team members. The Crescent will start to welcome guests on June 29 with a grand opening event on 17 July. Salt, which spans the entire seventh floor of The Crescent, will stand out among restaurants in the Northeast and rival the best restaurants in the world. The restaurant is the finest of both a steakhouse and a seafood restaurant with two expansive terraces for three-season outdoor dining. The views welcome in and celebrate the beauty of the Mohawk Valley, a gorgeous region filled with lush landscapes, agriculture and history. The restaurant’s four private dining rooms provide unique experiences for plated group dining. Menu items will be showstopping, elevated and the definition of upstate luxury that will feel accessible in a vibrant environment. |
