Travelers' Choice
If you're looking for a getaway that offers deluxe accommodations; fabulous food; great wine; a destination spa and adventure experiences all nestled in the gorgeous New York Finger Lakes wine region, you've found it! La Tourelle's 54 deluxe rooms have dreamy pillow-top mattresses to ensure a restful night's sleep. You'll need that sleep if you plan on touring the wine trails; visiting the museums; taking a hike in any of the five state parks, or participating in the numerous adventure excursions available in "gorges" Ithaca. After experiencing all that Finger Lakes wine country has to offer, you'll really appreciate getting pampered at August Moon Spa. We offer all the services you expect from a destination spa, plus we have two Tranquility Rooms where you can relax and enjoy cuisine from our "farm-to-table" menu at The Bistro.

We (me, husband, teenage son) spent one night at La Tourelle while in town to visit area colleges. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of our room, the amount of space we had (2 king beds), and the friendliness of the staff. Would definitely stay here again!

A unique hotel almost a country inn but still a hotel. From reserving the room on its website to our checkout the experience was wonderful. We booked a king room with fireplace and tub with jets. The room was immaculate and in good shape and unique with a bookcase filled with books and a small balcony. The balcony overlooked a beautiful valley and could see sunsets. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. There's a happy hour with free wine and they make generous pours. The bathroom was large with a double vanity and the washcloths and towels were thick plus bathrobes were provided. We also had breakfast at the Bistro found it to be very plentiful with fruit, small pastry and large omelet. Hotel is highly recommend. Note some cosmetic improvement is needed to the outside of the building but probably do to lack of business and funds during covid. There is also a trail from the hotel to Buttermilk Falls.…

Stayed here for 2 nights this past week after finding other good reviews - we were not disappointed! Although the hotel is a bit dated we found it delightful and it met all our needs. Our room was a great size (booked one with a fireplace as recommended). Hosts were great, including the wine hour in the evening. Just a 8 minute ride into Ithaca. Very quiet, slept great. Beautiful property. Had breakfast at the bistro one morning and it was super fresh and fabulous,

We had stayed at La Tourelle while visitng our daughter at Cornell. Very nice boutique hotel, great staff and food. Easy access to downtown, Cornell, and direct hiking from the property into Buttermill Falls State Park. When our daughter decided to get married in Ithaca, she looked around a wedding venues and chose La Tourelle. We are SO happy that she did. The quality of the food, staff, and service was great. The value was amazing, half the cost of other venues. We were able to have or wedding and reception outside on their covered terrace. The venue was beautiful with views of the valley, mountains, forest, and gazebos. Our guests were able to stay onsite so we had everyone together for the entrire weekend. The engagement was a year and a half, then Covid hit and the wedding was deferred another year. So for more than two years we worked with the staff at La Tourelle. They were responsive, flexible, adaptive, and a perfect combination of professional and down to earth. I would suggest that anyone looking to hold an event in Ithace consider La Tourelle!…

In celebration of our 40th anniversary, I chose La Tourelle for someplace special which was a few hours car ride from our home and knew it was a bit of a splurge for our wallet. Our stay was pleasant, just pleasant. Not over the top and at the end of our three days, felt this establishment was overpriced. But today, most vacation spots are overpriced. King bed was comfortable, bathroom was roomy and clean! Antique double vanity was neat. Nice thick towels. Must ask for housekeeping, “au naturel” grounds (not manicured), breakfast at bistro was slow due to little and/or new help. French toast was delicious!. Bistro could use a little everyday housekeeping. New carpet, Spiders in corners, etc. If you pay for the “sunrise” view room, please know you are overlooking the parking lot! No “view”. AND….do not park in rear lot if you have a truck or larger vehicle. An employee ran into our bumper and cracked, dented the entire corner. Another aggravation we must deal with when we get home! Not happy! We were in Ithaca Sunday thru Wednesday. More than 50% of nicer restaurants are closed on Monday and Tuesday. What was open had 1.5 hour wait. No food is worth that long of a wait. Ended up eating takeout pizza our last night. Last side note to management….for $250.00/night, you could provide soft thicker toilet paper. The hard, rough paper you provide is what you find in gas stations! …
