The Chautauqua meeting experience affords the meeting planner a diverse set of options. Choose from the comfortable and affordable features of Bellinger Hall or the charming amenities of the Athenaeum Hotel. For larger groups of 250 or more, combine them both to offer a more complete set of lodging alternatives for your attendees.

Although both facilities offer ample meeting space, additional facilities abound within the Chautauqua institution grounds. Larger groups can make full use of these facilities, lending both a campus-like feel to your event while letting attendees enjoy the tranquility of Chautauqua.

While we are sure your guests will enjoy the walk between facilities, shuttle transportation is available to and from all locations.

The following meeting facilities are available to compliment your meeting program. Usage fees will be evaluated and quoted based on group size, degree of need and requested setup requirements.

Detailed dimensional floor plans are available for each of the listed facilities.
