The Athenaeum is a stately building. The public areas are furnished nicely as is the annex. What the Athenaeum offers is easy access to the Chautauqua amphitheater.

Glad to be in the annex.

We were glad to be in the annex because there was a wedding reception in the main stay. Clean. Only problem was that some of the wedding guests did stay in the annex and were loud in the hallways after midndight.

Need More Investment

The Athenaeum is a Grand Hotel in preventable decline; it badly needs TLC and more investment to repair its rotting infrastructure. On a positive note, the staff was courteous, friendly and efficient.

We did not get a lake room, but the porch and yard are a great place to relax.

Athenaeum - Sept. 2025

We enjoyed stepping back in time to admire the unique building style of the 1880's. The room was a little smaller than most hotels, except New York City, but was very comfortable. It was a very pleasant experience staying at the Athenaeum Hotel and very relaxing. Also, the "Continental Breakfast" was way beyond the norm...excellent. There were plenty of choices and stocked very well. This was indeed an unexpected bonus. Lastly, walking around the hotel and Chatauqua Institution was very enjoyable.

Disappointing visit

Check-in was disorganized, the hotel was short staffed, they ran out of food, there was nowhere to sit in the lobby, and the continental breakfast was nothing special considering the price,

this was a beautiful hotel with the wrap around porch, stairs and fountain. it did need a new coat of paint and regardless it was lovely. some of the furniture in the interior was not as attractive as it could have been. stay with a theme! all in all, this was a unique experience and i was happy to stay here.
