Athenaeum Hotel

beautiful historical building, amenities were not great, but if you are staying to embrace the ambience of Chautauqua Institution maybe you will be satisfied with the rooms.

A rambling historic hotel on the banks of the Chautauqua Lake within the grounds of Chautauqua Institute. Hotel rooms range from lower floor, mildly upgraded ‘staff quarters’ to newly decorated multi-room suites. The booking process is uneven with online reservations possible when the phone staff says the hotel is fully booked. Young trainees supplements more seasoned crew in the summertime. The best option in an area with limited choices. Overpriced.

This Victorian hotel is beautiful & so romantic. Rooms are pricey. I attended a German buffet lunch and food was very good. Lots of atmosphere.

Great food, but very pricey

It's a really cool looking, old, well maintained building inside the Chautauqua Institution. It has character. We just ate dinner in the Heirloom restaurant inside the hotel. First we had a few drinks (beer and wine only, no hard alcohol) on the huge wrap around porch. Dinner and appetizer options were very good, though a little pricey. Service was fine. It was a nice evening, so they had the big doors open so it felt like almost eating outside.
