As guests have traveled to Lakeside for the past 152 years, they have sought a place to stay to immerse themselves in the enriching Chautauqua experiences. Hotel Lakeside has been a place for guests to call home since 1875.

As they arrived by steamboat to Lakeside?s dock, guests made their way to Hotel Lakeside with their trunks ready to begin their journey of spiritual, intellectual, cultural and physical growth. Imagine what the lobby of Hotel Lakeside was like, bustling with visitors, making new friends and gathering in community.

In 2025, Hotel Lakeside celebrates its 150th Anniversary. Throughout the summer, we will be gathering as a community at events to celebrate this Lakeside icon. By purchasing your shirt, you can celebrate and commemorate this milestone and support the future of Hotel Lakeside. All proceeds from this sale will go to the Hotel Lakeside Lobby restoration project, set to begin in Fall 2025. Learn more at lakesideohio.com/hotellakeside150.
