CHAUTAUQUA COMMUNITY HOUSE
2Oth CENTURY ELEGANCE, 21st CENTURY FUNCTIONALITY One historic venue, three very special spaces
The Community House, known as Chautauqua’s “living room,” was built in 1918. Today, it is host to meetings, retreats, weddings, parties and events of all sizes throughout the year. The main room, known as the Grand Assembly Hall, occupies the main floor and features hardwood floors, a fireplace, a grand piano, and a large, covered verandah. One level below, the Rocky Mountain Climbers’ Club, with its original stone walls and fireplace, is perfect for a luncheon or a midsize meeting. The Meadows Library, located on the same floor, is a quiet board room space appropriate for smaller meetings. The Larkspur and Bellflower rooms on the top floor are also ideal for small breakout rooms and other small-group needs.
Restored and upgraded throughout All three Community House venues have been substantially upgraded to bring out the beauty and character of the original structure while meeting the needs of today’s most discerning social and corporate groups.

FIVE REASONS TO CHOOSE
CHAUTAUQUA COMMUNITY HOUSE by Nature in 1 Surrounded All its Splendor
The Community House boasts a spectacular location in the shadow of Boulder’s famous Flatiron mountains. Being so close to nature is conducive to creative thinking.

and modernity 2 History together – no need to choose
You may have considered modern venues and felt they lacked character and intimacy or ruled out historic spaces for being weak on comfort and technology. At the Community House, your group will enjoy the best of past and present. Spaces are rich in historic integrity with features like wood paneling, authentic tin ceilings and fieldstone fireplaces. Your group will accomplish its goals efficiently and with style using our smart TVs, business class WiFi, induction loop, custom cherrywood furniture and effective lighting. All Community House spaces are ADA accessible.
