“Athenaeum Hotel offers an experience that truly transports guests back in time, featuring beautiful views of the lake. Its location is ideal for walking and exploring, and the Victorian-era architecture is wonderfully maintained, adding to its charm. As an editor, I find it a delightful lakeside venue, especially for those attending events at the nearby Amphitheater and Chautauqua Institution.”
