Turning Stone Resort & Casino Unveils Historic Expansion and Celebrates #1 Spa in New York
Turning Stone Resort & Casino, a jewel of Upstate New York, is undergoing a transformation of historic proportions, reaffirming its status as the region’s premier destination for world-class hospitality, entertainment and recreation. This evolution marks the most significant growth for the resort in over 20 years, featuring a $370 million investment by the Oneida Indian Nation.
Key highlights of the expansion include the addition of The Grand Expo, a state-of-the-art conference and events center that will double the resort’s convention and meeting space. Guests can also look forward to the luxurious 258-room Crescent Hotel, which promises to elevate overnight stays to new levels of sophistication. Culinary enthusiasts will be delighted by Salt Restaurant, a fine-dining experience complete with outdoor seating and private event spaces.
To complement these innovations, Turning Stone is also introducing stunning outdoor event areas and a 1,500-space parking garage to accommodate growing visitor demand. These enhancements aim to create a destination that offers awe-inspiring experiences while continuing the resort’s legacy of exceptional service.
Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Turning Stone Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter expressed pride in the resort’s ambitious vision: “When we set out to create Turning Stone, the Oneida Indian Nation had a vision for the resort and this region that was truly larger than life. Today, it is clear to our guests, our team, and all of Upstate New York that what is taking place at Turning Stone is different than anything found anywhere else.”
