Featured in the North American Inns Magazine, and Life in the Finger Lakes Magazine, our philosophy on living is tightly woven into each thread of our business.

A retreat of urban serenity, this boutique style Inn offers business travelers and pleasure travelers alike the quiet relaxation of neighborhood living and the convenience of a central city location.

  The Salon

Our hope is that you will find The Edward Harris House a sanctuary that will allow you to rest, rejuvenate, and leave refreshed.   

Tucked in a historic residential setting between East and Park Avenues of Rochester, NY - The Edward Harris House has always been a landmark in the community. Originally owned and built by The Harris/Sloan family - this grand home has been welcoming friends, old and new with warmth and hospitality since 1896.

While we try to anticipate many of your needs, we describe our Innkeeping Style as one of unobtrusive comfort, warmth and informality. Making it a restful environment in which to enjoy quiet time together, or rest after a long day of work.   

Breakfast Ensuite

For your convenience, host your next business breakfast or lunch meeting on premises. Enjoy the comfort of the Salon, Library (fireside) or seasonal garden patio amongst the flowers- providing an imaginative alternative to the generic hotel experience. Please contact the Inn and we will be happy to tailor your gathering to meet your needs. Pamper yourself with our ensuite breakfast service.

  
The Formal Dining Room

Our spacious suites and upper floor guest rooms are as individual as you are. All guest rooms are individually designed spaces with your comfort in mind.
