(description | floorplan | photos | map | contact )

Welcome to the St. Elmo! This is the location at Chautauqua Institution, directly on the town square-like 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 deli, and a full-service restaurant. Everything is at your fingertips.

Location: #315 is a quiet  unit on the third floor on Ames Avenue.  Just cross the Plaza to the Post Office, Chautauqua Bookstore, and Refectory.  A few more steps and you will enjoy all that the Amphitheater has to offer.

Parking: guests at the St. Elmo purchase parking in the institution lots as there is no parking on site.
