Athenaeum Hotel

Beautiful

Very unique stay! Built in 1880, so old but charming. The area surrounding hotel is picturesque! Continental breakfast was delicious.

Porches and windows dirty from bugs etc. Staff was wonderful. Inside was very clean.

If you've seen the movie, The Shining, this hotel embodies some of that. It is truly a beautiful building with a very nice staff. We stayed in a renovated room - highly suggested - which was fine, but certainly not opulent. It was quite small, but the air conditioning worked and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. They brought us a refrigerator immediately, as requested. The porch overlooking the lake is magnificent. We were there for a wedding and spent many hours outdoors. The continental breakfast was very good.

The scenery and decor of the hotel was absolutely beautiful. Such a relaxing environment and various areas to sit and take in the beauty. Staff was awesome and available to help at any given moment. Plan on having a yearly visit.

The room was nice, though the bathroom was incredibly small/tight space, and the bed was too hard. The staff was very helpful and cheerful.

The public spaces of this hotel have not been modernized but are true to their original plan which I liked. The bedrooms were small but adequate. There was a nice buffet breakfast which you could take to the sprawling porches and eat while looking at the lake.

We enjoyed our stay!! The staff was nice, rooms were clean. Obviously in a hotel built in 1861 it’s not perfect but has historical charm. Would stay again 😊

Lovely old hotel with a great view of Chautauqua Lake. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was small but more than adequate. We had a great time and found lots to do and places to see.

The hotel’s location was beautiful. The staff was amazing. Our complaint is we paid for a deluxe room and what we got was less than stellar. We had one small, not a comfortable chair. our view was of a dead tree and other guests' room windows. Our mattress/bed was horrible. The only nice thing about the room was the bathroom. We celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary and the room was nothing I would ever want to stay in again. We had friends staying at the hotel and their room was gorgeous. Very underwhelming experience. Again, the staff was great. The hotel had a very nostalgic vibe. I wish our room would have been a real deluxe.......
