Charming and unique atmosphere. Enjoyable experience. Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Peaceful.

I had an outstanding dinner experience! The service was excellent, and the location received full marks. One of the highlights of the hotel is its fantastic view.

Walkability: Strolling through the gated community was like stepping into the early 1900s, with all the homes being over a century old and beautifully maintained. Rooms: 4 View menu

Cool experience of a Victorian hotel. Parking is a headache. The shower in the room was large with good water pressure. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 2 Hotel highlights: Great view

Great stay all around. I had my dog with me as well and they were very welcoming. They even had homemade treats for her when I checked in. Enjoying a light breakfast on the porch facing the lake in the morning was a highlight to my stay. Service: 5

It was harder to find the main gate in the dark. This is all part of the Chautauqua Institution.

I came here to stay with my wife for my 66th birthday in remembrance of the last time I had been here with my now deceased parents 50 years ago, nearly to the day. We had a wonderful stay overall. I was happy to see how well and lovingly it has been maintained. I have stayed in so-called ‘historic’ hotels that are just tired and old. That was not the case with the Athenaeum Hotel. My only disappointment with the hotel was that I was not able to enjoy a birthday meal that night in the hotel’s restaurant; it had been reserved for a wedding party for that night.
