It was nice to return to Chautauqua after having sold our condo. I had always admired the Anthenaeum but hadn’t stayed there until this trip. Our room was gorgeous and had a beautiful view of the lake.

Chautauqua is an amazing place and the History is wonderful - The Athenaeum is a place I have always wanted to stay - And I 'm very glad I did - Everyone should experience this with an open mind and recognize how amazing it is to even stay in...

A lovely older hotel made very comfortable for today's travelers. Enjoyed the various nooks and crannies of the hotel. The breakfast was also nice even though off season. The staff was superb and helpful several times.

Continental breakfast was tasty. Would have appreciated some hard-boiled eggs or some more non-gluten options.

The veranda: everyone was so convivial. We were able to plan the rest of our week based on the recommendations of the staff and others guests. We heard so many stories of high school romances begun at Chautauqua that became life long marriages.

Beautiful view of the Lake - Awesome walkable location - transported back in time. Be aware the accommodations are very dated and not large but that is part of the charm.
