| Hotel Utica Photos | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Introduction: On the night on August 23, 2003, I stayed at the Hotel Utica in Utica, New York, with my uncle and two cousins. Here are some photos of the hotel. As on my other sites, you can click on all photos to enlarge them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The front entrance view of the Hotel Utica, at 102 Lafayette Street. It's a very elegant building. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looking up at the hotel's top floors from the same point as the above photo.The Hotel Utica has 14 floors. As the hotel expanded, the top four floors (10, 11, 12, and 14- 13 was believed to be bad luck at the time) were added in 1926*. Today, only the original 9 floors are used. We stayed on the 8th, I believe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A side view of the top floors from Lafayette Street. Notice how only the 4 newer (and currently unused) floors have side windows. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inside our room. The rooms are nicely decorated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A view to the North from one of the two windows in our room. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A view to the Southwest (I believe) from the second of our two room windows. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Another view of our room, this time of the door and bathroom area. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I tried to take a photo of the very elegant lobby, but I got a blurry one with the pole instead. Oh well, at least it's a nice pole. ;) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A view of an old-looking painted advertisement for the Hotel Utica on the side of the Hotel itself. Taken on Lafayette Street in Utica, NY. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
