Rooms

A blend of authentic period furnishings and fixtures, comfortable wicker chairs and settees, elegant curtains and color schemes preserve the Athenaeum’s rich historical presence and extend a cordial welcome to our guests. Guests have the option of staying in the Victorian part of the hotel or in the Arts and Crafts Wing which was built in 1920. Each of our rooms are unique; however, the hotel offers various room categories.

Suites

Deluxe Rooms

Deluxe rooms are furnished with a king size bed and offer a view of the picturesque Chautauqua Lake or a sitting porch that overlooks the Amphitheater which is the hub of Chautauqua Institution’s programming.

These rooms are available for either one person or for two people and are either in the main Victorian section of the hotel or in the Arts and Crafts Wing.
