Chautauqua, New York January 20, 2008 — The Spencer Hotel & Spa has introduced a series of writers’ workshops that provide an environment for inspiring writers and artists to develop their skills and vision by bringing them together with today’s top professionals in a unique environment.
Each five day workshop (limited to 20 students) is taught by award-winning authors and artists eager to share their professional wisdom. In addition to the professional instruction, students may choose from yoga, meditation, dance classes, watercolor instruction, spa treatments, massage therapy, hiking, and bicycling. Meals are enjoyed together, class size is limited, and the schedule of instructors changes annually to provide a diverse, entertaining choice.
The Hotel’s location within the Chautauqua Institution (a gated resort community located on Chautauqua Lake in western New York), offers a quiet setting for reading and writing. Workshop classes are held at the Chautauqua Institution’s Hulquist Conference Center, while the surrounding landscape of Bestor Park and plentiful gardens provides an enchanting setting for all to enjoy.
The Spencer is newly renovated, boutique hotel with 26 luxurious rooms and suites. It houses the oldest literary society in America, and opens its gates to all who enjoy a tale. New York Times once titled Chautauqua Institution as “Camelot, a place where time is forgotten and the arts flourish.”
“The Hotel offers a distinctive literary theme which celebrates the life and works of history’s most revered authors. Each room pays homage to a renowned author, depicting scenes from their most famous works,” Innkeeper Helen Briggs states. “I love literature and like to read, and so I decided what better place to create a literary theme than in Chautauqua,” Helen continues.
