The building that now houses Hotel Skyler was constructed in 1921 as Temple Adath Yeshurun, a synagogue serving Syracuse’s Jewish community. After the congregation moved to a new location in 1968, the building stood largely unused for decades before being transformed into a hotel.
Hotel Skyler opened in 2011, preserving many of the building’s historic architectural features while creating a modern boutique hotel. Syracuse University purchased the property in 2024, and the Woodbine Group continues to manage it as a hotel.
