Historic Charm and Recognition
Argos Inn is a nationally registered historic mansion located in downtown Ithaca, NY. In 2017, it received the Preservation League of NYS award of Excellence in Historic Preservation, becoming the first building in the area to attain this recognition. The renovation showcases restored wood, stone, and plaster details, maintaining the character of the original structure while offering modern comforts.
Artistic Decor
Meticulously decorated with whimsically refurbished antique French furniture and a collection of 20th-century artwork, the hotel stands out as an artistic destination. Works by renowned artists such as Salvador Dali and Joan Miró grace the interior spaces, providing a culturally rich atmosphere for guests. This unique blend of art and design enhances guest experiences within the hotel.
Dining and Entertainment
Bar Argos offers a custom zinc parlor bar that serves award-winning cocktails, crafted by expert bartenders. Guests can enjoy drinks outdoors on the extensive patio or in the elegant indoor space adorned with Moroccan lanterns. For additional nightlife options, the adjacent Argos Warehouse provides a larger venue focused on classic cocktails and local draft beers.
Convenient Location
The hotel is centrally located just steps from The Commons, Ithaca's pedestrian shopping and dining area. Proximity to Cornell University and Ithaca College makes it a practical choice for visiting academics and students' families. Additionally, the hotel serves as a launching point for exploring the Finger Lakes Wine Trail and nearby gorges.
Sustainable Design
As a LEED certified building, Argos Inn incorporates green building features such as geothermal heating and low-wattage LED lighting. The hotel prioritizes sustainability with the use of low VOC building materials and low-flow faucets. This commitment to eco-friendly practices complements the luxurious experience guests can expect.
