Four Diamonds, One Custom Door: VIGO at The Tower at Turning Stone
The Tower at Turning Stone is the tallest building between Albany and Syracuse and a AAA Four Diamond hotel twelve years running. When its guest bathrooms called for "modern stone and glass shower stalls," the glass came from VIGO: custom hinged shower doors, built to each stall's exact opening.
The Tower at Turning Stone, Verona, NY — the tallest building between Albany and Syracuse, with suites on the 20th floor and TS Steakhouse on the 21st.
At The Tower at Turning Stone, the Oneida Indian Nation's AAA Four Diamond high-rise hotel in Verona, New York, VIGO supplied custom hinged shower doors for the guest bathrooms — single panels of tempered glass, hinged straight off the wall and sized to each stall's exact opening, matching the hotel's own promise of "modern stone and glass shower stalls."
From The Tower's own 3D room tour: the custom hinged glass door on a guest bath's stone-and-glass shower stall.
01 — The Brief
"Modern stone and glass shower stalls"
That phrase is The Tower's own — it sits right in the hotel's amenity list, next to the panoramic views and the plush robes. It is also a precise design brief. Stone supplies the warmth: granite vanities, pale stone tile, a glass-mosaic accent band. Glass supplies the light: a clear, hinged door that closes the stall without closing off the room.
A hinged door is the right glass for a stall like this. One panel, hinged directly off the wall, swings open to a full, generous entry — no track above, no rail below, nothing to interrupt the tile work. The polished chrome hinges and pull match the bathroom's bright fittings, so the whole wet zone reads as one intentional composition rather than an assembly of parts.
The other angle: the door, the towel bar on glass, and the stall's chrome shower hardware — one finish story throughout.
02 — The Custom Program
What "custom" means at hotel scale
Guest bathrooms in a high-rise are engineered spaces — each stall framed to its own dimensions, tiled, and finished before the glass ever arrives. A custom door program means VIGO's glass is built to those measured openings rather than forcing the architecture to fit a stock size: the panel, the hinge placement, and the hardware all specified for the stall as built, then repeated with hotel-grade consistency floor after floor.
The result is what a AAA Four Diamond property needs its bathrooms to be: bright, easy to clean with a single squeegee pass, and durable enough for years of daily check-ins — with tempered glass and metal hardware doing the quiet, load-bearing work of feeling luxurious.
- Tempered glass panels sized to each stall's exact opening
- Wall-mounted hinges, no frame, no track
- Chrome hardware matched to the bathroom's fittings
- Spec-grade consistency across floors of rooms
