Ithaca College is less than 2 miles from La Tourelle—approximately 5 minutes by car or 10-15 minutes by foot (however, there is not a designated pathway for walking from campus to the hotel).

La Tourelle is 4 miles from the Cornell University Campus—typically a 10 minute car ride in light traffic. 

Rooms for commencement weekends are released to our graduation waitlist approximately one year in advance. We prioritize guests on the waitlist who have stayed with us previously as part of our commitment to guest loyalty.

Guests may join the commencement waitlist at any time. To be added, please contact our front desk by phone or email and let us know your graduate’s commencement year.

La Tourelle is proudly owned by Cornell alumni who have deep ties to the Ithaca community and a genuine appreciation for the experiences that bring families and students back to campus year after year.
