ITHACA, N.Y.
Marriott International announced the opening of the Ithaca Marriott Downtown, which is located on Ithaca’s “Restaurant Row,” two miles from Cayuga Lake, the longest of the Finger Lakes. The full-service hotel comprises 159 guest rooms, an indoor-outdoor restaurant and modern event space.
The hotel's guest rooms will reflect the new Marriott aesthetic, with platform beds, wall-mounted TVs, mini-fridges, multi-purpose surfaces, deluxe spa-like walk-in showers and chaise lounges in king rooms.
"We want our guests to experience forward-thinking, aesthetically pleasing spaces that help foster their inventive nature," said Matthew Carroll, VP, Marriott Hotels. "Marriott Hotels has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in travel to create experiences that inspire and push our guests' creativity.”
The hotel's signature restaurant, Monks on the Commons, will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving modern American cuisine with a southern flair. A lobby shop will be open 24 hours a day.
Ithaca Marriott Downtown will also offer 2,300 square feet of flexible meeting space—including three meeting rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Commons—and skilled planning, catering and audiovisual services. The largest venue, the Gorges Ballroom, will accommodate up to 175.
The hotel's complimentary shuttle will service nearby Cornell University, Ithaca College and Tompkins Regional Airport (ITH). Restaurant Row is just outside the front doors, with Finger Lakes wineries, Cayuga Lake and scenic waterfalls all nearby. Ithaca also offers a vibrant arts and culture scene.
