The Best Hotel in Ithaca, The Finger Lakes

Background Illustration for Hotels

Ithaca is a university town, so book far in advance during busy events like graduation and orientation at Cornell University and Ithaca College. Rooms also book up during big events at the Watkins Glen speedway.

Inn on Columbia

$$$ | 228 Columbia St., Ithaca, NY, 14850, USA

An 1830s Greek Revival mansion was completely renovated to create the main building of this unconventional B&B. Accommodations are rooms, suites, and cottages, some a block away from the main inn. The design is contemporary, with custom-designed furniture by architect and co-owner Kenn Young. Suites and cottages have gas fireplaces. Kenn's wife Madeline, a chef, prepares breakfast. The owners are fairly hands-off.

Pros

  • Near Ithaca Commons
  • More private than most B and Bs

Cons

  • Books up early for college events
  • Some accommodations are at a different location
