A rambling historic hotel on the banks of the Chautauqua Lake within the grounds of Chautauqua Institute. Hotel rooms range from lower floor, mildly upgraded ‘staff quarters’ to newly decorated multi-room suites. The booking process is uneven with online reservations possible when the phone staff says the hotel is fully booked. Young trainees supplements more seasoned crew in the summertime. The best option in an area with limited choices. Overpriced.
The employees are the best ever. The room was spotless and we like all the renevations that were done this past year.
Food, service, and atmosphere was great. The perfect place for Sunday lunch.
It's a really cool looking, old, well maintained building inside the Chautauqua Institution. It has character. We just ate dinner in the Heirloom restaurant inside the hotel. First we had a few drinks (beer and wine only, no hard alcohol) on the huge wrap around porch. Dinner and appetizer options were very good, though a little pricey. Service was fine. It was a nice evening, so they had the big doors open so it felt like almost eating outside.
Had dinner there with my husband and his parents. I had the rainbow trout with fingerling potatoes and roasted carrots. The trout wasn't very fishy. The potatoes were crispy and the roasted carrots were amazing. The only downfall is that they had no hard liquor what so ever, which is more point friendly for anyone doing weight watchers, but they did have bottles beer and wine options available.
Such a unique place in the world! Unlike anything else and full of wonderful people who are all happy to be there. Excellent food! Good service
Outstanding Mother's day brunch.
Very nice mother's day brunch.
I saw it when walking the grounds of CI and it was beautiful.
So beautiful intimate setting. Great view.
We love this place! It has great views of the lake, and the fountain is lovely. I am so happy they kept the original wood work. We have not stayed the night, but we hope to in the future
