Welcome to the St. Elmo! This is the best location at Chautauqua Institution, directly on the town square, Bestor Plaza, in an elevator, air-conditioned building that is a new all-steel fireproof construction (1988) carefully designed and decorated to fit into Victorian Chautauqua. The lower level offers shops, a spa, and deli in season. Everything is at your fingertips.
Unit #315 is a quiet efficiency apartment on the third floor on Ames Avenue. Just cross the Plaza is the Post Office, Chautauqua Bookstore, Library, Afterwords Cafe. Also Brickwalk Cafe and Coffee Kiosk in season. A few more steps and you will enjoy all that the Amphitheater and Hall of Philosophy have to offer.
NOTE: You must buy a Gate Pass during the Summer Assembly Season, approximately the last week of June to the end of August. Parking: During the Summer Assembly guests at the St. Elmo purchase parking in the institution lots. On street parking is allowed post-season.
