About Marian Ware

Most Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration alumni are familiar with the story of Statler\'s dramatic turnaround during the second run of Hotel Ezra Cornell in 1927. The support he pledged would keep the program and school solvent, enable it to grow, and eventually have the building named after him.In March of 1989, The Statler Hotel opened its doors and launched a new hospitality education and industry leadership era at Cornell University. Like its predecessor, the Statler Inn—\"the jewel box,\" as the newly transformed hotel was fondly dubbed by managing director Hans P. Weishaupt \'64—quickly gained international renown as one of the world\'s best \"teaching hotels\" and a living laboratory for hospitality innovation. Today the Statler Hotel is the area\'s finest hotel. The 153-room full-service luxury hotel is Ithaca\'s only Four Diamond property. Now, under the Leadership of Arthur Keith, General Manager and Executive Director, it is now \"The Premier Hotel that Teaches.\"
