Revisit the lifestyle of a bygone era, where you can stroll on winding brick walks and allow the shade of huge maple trees to swallow your stress. Gingerbread-style cottages, quaint shops, a library, post office and charming gardens nestled together create a living quilt reminiscent of small-town America nearly a century ago. And the Athenaeum Hotel is at the center of it all.
The gracious warmth of this "Grande Dame" hotel and the highly respected, diversified programming and recreational opportunities offered during the nine-week Chautauqua Institution summer season combine to make a memorable vacation. The Athenaeum, the enchanting Chautauqua grounds and vibrant programs offer you and your family dimensions of enjoyment far beyond the ordinary.
