The interiors include locally inspired finishes and furnishings with a natural authentic look and feel. The use of leather, wooden ceiling beams and wood plank wall cladding creates a warm comforting environment for the guests. The design ethos of the hotel combines comfort, neighborhood influence and stylish interiors to create an urban oasis in downtown Ithaca.
