This time, it's official. The new Renaissance Providence Hotel opened its doors with a ceremonial flash today. Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline, at podium, was among the attendees, who also included Steven E. Smith, of the Freemasons in Rhode Island and his wife -- the hotel's first official guests. The hotel, said to be booked with conventioneers next week, was built from the ruins of the old Masonic Temple.

Extra: Take a multimedia tour of the hotel, which unofficially opened last month.
