This is a unique hotel in the middle of Chautauqua Institution. We had a fantastic room and thoroughly enjoyed the history and surroundings.
The lake view at sunrise is a beautiful way to start your day. Staff is exceptional and friendly, breakfast is fresh and plentiful.

Loved staying on the grounds of chautauqua institution and enjoyed lower prices because it’s off-season. the rooms were clean, and a continental breakfast was included
This Grand Lady was a very impressive vintage hotel with charm and elegance. Room was much more updated than expected, staff couldn’t have been nicer and the grounds were spectacular!
The continental breakfast was healthy and varied. Our room was lovely, it faced the lake and had a beautiful view. The staff was accommodating and very friendly. Perfect for a mid week stay as a quiet getaway.

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.
Beautiful drive to the hotel. Stunning, old homes, history. The room is charming, clean with a gorgeous view of the lake and porch. It’s October and the weather is perfect.

The safety in the property is top notch. Its a 1890 built historic building. It might not be for everyone, but i liked it. It has free continental breakfast. Free parking.
