A major step forward for downtown Erie. Today, Erie County Executive Christina Vogel joined Governor Josh Shapiro, Erie Mayor Daria Devlin, state and local lawmakers, project leaders, investors, and community members for the groundbreaking of The Trust Hotel inside the former Renaissance Centre.

The swing of a sledgehammer officially kicked off the transformation of the historic 14-story landmark into Erie’s only 4-star boutique hotel destination.

The 195-room Trust Hotel will feature a ballroom, lounge, spa, and restaurant blending historic character with modern hospitality in the heart of downtown Erie.
