Tradition plays a vital role in shaping our identity and guiding our future. It grounds us in our heritage while allowing us to innovate and adapt to our evolving environment. It is tradition that provides the foundation for innovation as we take inspiration from our legacy. Tradition helps to maintain a connection to the past while creating a sense of community that brings people together across multiple generations. 

For the past 100 years, Hotel Ezra Cornell ("HEC") has been a beacon of tradition, seamlessly blending the timeless elegance of its historic roots with the innovations of today's hospitality industry leaders. As we reflect with gratitude on the past century, we are excited and hopeful for what the next 100 years will bring to the hospitality industry. While we embark into a new century, HEC remains dedicated to fostering innovation, creativity and community within the industry. With that in mind, this year we celebrate HECentennial, a long standing tradition with a rich history and continuing impact on the hospitality industry.
