La Tourelle Inn & Spa

Serenity with activity in the Finger Lakes.

Tucked into the rolling hills of Ithaca's wine country, La Tourelle Inn & Spa is a retreat where comfort, nature, and warm hospitality come together. The property also offers a location just minutes from Cornell University, Ithaca College, downtown Ithaca nightlife, and the Finger Lakes wine country. Some places let you escape, while others keep you connected. La Tourelle does both.

At the edge of everything, in a world of its own.

What it's like

La Tourelle leans into its rustic roots while embracing a more modern look and feel. The result is warm, relaxed, and refreshingly up to date. With Buttermilk Falls State Park just steps away, nature lovers can explore stunning waterfalls and scenic trails before returning to the hotel's cozy interiors and inviting atmosphere.

Independent spirit

Where relaxation and adventure converge.

Small touches

Every one of La Tourelle's 57 rooms and suites has been carefully designed with unique furnishings, delicate fabrics, and soothing color palettes to create a restful retreat. Plush bedding and complimentary WiFi enhance the comfort, while cozy common spaces invite guests to linger. Whether it's a fireside chat or a quiet moment overlooking the scenic grounds, La Tourelle is designed for those who appreciate the little things. For the ultimate relaxation, August Moon Spa offers rejuvenating massages, facials, and body treatments inspired by the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes.

Eat and drink

A warm welcome awaits with complimentary cookies and freshly brewed coffee, a small but sweet touch that makes every arrival feel special. In the evening, unwind and dine at The Lounge, where Finger Lakes wines, craft cocktails, and local brews take center stage. Whether you're toasting to the day's adventures or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, this is the perfect spot to savor the flavors of the region. On Thursday nights, the vibe turns up a notch with live music in The Lounge and Juicy's Shanty food truck waiting just outside.

And more

Steps away is La Tourelle's sister property, Firelight Camps. With its 22 luxury tents and seasonal cocktail bar, it offers a different kind of experience for the more outdoor-inclined visitor.
