The historic building, previously the Mayor's Mansion of Ithaca and Duncan-Hines world headquarters, features geothermal wells for heating and cooling.

Historic-Meets-Modern Rooms

Each of the 13 individually furnished rooms at Argos Inn blends historic details with modern amenities, including premium bedding, first-run movies, and separate sitting areas. Some rooms feature queen or king beds, rain showers, and velvet-draped sunrooms. The Top Deck Suite offers a king bed and cathedral ceilings.

Cocktails & Eclectic Spaces

Bar Argos serves classic cocktails, local beer, and wine in a zinc parlor bar with antique furniture. The Argos Warehouse, an eclectic event space, features a copper-and-wood bar with Moroccan details and hanging plants. Custom beverage menus are available for private events.

Waterfalls & Patio Relaxation

Guests can explore Taughannock Falls, the tallest waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains at 215', or relax on the back patio under Moroccan lanterns. The hotel's solarium offers free espresso, tea, and snacks. Nearby Myers Park provides lakefront swimming and summer concerts.

Events & Sustainability

“Argos Inn stands out as a meticulously restored historic mansion, blending architectural details with modern amenities. The award-winning Bar Argos makes an impression, serving cocktails and local beverages in unique outdoor spaces. While some experiences seem inconsistent, its eco-friendly focus and prime location near Cornell University make it noteworthy.”
