The RIT Inn & Conference Center also offers indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, whirlpool, fitness center, restaurant and coffee shop.

The open house will feature Hawaiian dancing and dance lessons, a variety of “tropical door prizes” and other giveaways, refreshments and the band “Pan Loco.”

The RIT Inn & Conference Center, located at 5257 West Henrietta Road in Henrietta, provides RIT students majoring in hospitality and service management with professional, hands-on work experience through co-op positions and on-site class sessions. In addition, numerous RIT alumni are employed at the facility and some current students reside there. Formerly a Marriott hotel, the RIT Inn & Conference Center was a gift to RIT from E.J.
