Enjoyed the unique experience of staying in an old style grand hotel well maintained and serviced. That we chose a premium room that was spacious and with a lake view probably contributed to our satisfaction.

Athenaeum - Sept. 2025

We enjoyed stepping back in time to admire the unique building style of the 1880's. The room was a little smaller than most hotels, except New York City, but was very comfortable. It was a very pleasant experience staying at the Athenaeum Hotel and very relaxing. Also, the "Continental Breakfast" was way beyond the norm...excellent. There were plenty of choices and stocked very well. This was indeed an unexpected bonus. Lastly, walking around the hotel and Chatauqua Institution was very enjoyable.

Beautiful location on the Chautauqua Institute grounds. Beautiful lobby, porches facing lake, plenty of grounds to enjoy. The hotel rooms are in need of much refreshing. Cracked linoleum and severe sloping bathroom floor. Carpets very dirty and spotted. Due for updating. Do not count on eating at the bar and snack area in rhe lobby, not in the Heirloom Room for dinner. The three nights we were there, they had weddings and events. So were closed to hotel guests.
