An Urgo Hotels & Resorts and Ensemble Hotel Partners joint venture has started construction of a ten-storey, full-service Marriott Hotel in downtown Ithaca, New York, US.

Located at the eastern entrance to the Ithaca Commons, a newly renovated pedestrian indoor and outdoor mixed-use development and entertainment district anchoring Ithaca’s downtown core, the hotel is scheduled to be launched in the third quarter of 2016.

"Ithaca Marriot will be the only Marriott-branded hotel in the area and the first new hotel in the centre of Ithaca in almost ten years."

Upon completion, Ithaca Marriot will be the only Marriott-branded hotel in the area and the first new hotel in the centre of Ithaca in almost ten years.

Spread across 8,430ft2, the hotel will comprise a fitness centre and signature restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating on the main level as well as approximately 3,000ft2 of meeting/function space with floor to ceiling windows, a prep area, and guestrooms on the second level and floors three through ten.

Urgo Hotels development director Mathew Jalazo said: "Market positioning, proximity to City Hall, Cornell University and Ithaca College, coupled with the Marriott brand’s reservations systems, distribution channels and rewards programme, its superior facilities and amenities, all give us tremendous confidence in this project.

"This project is attractive from several vantage points, chief among them being the superior downtown location and the opportunity to be one of two branded hotels and the only Marriott in the heart of Ithaca."
