BUFFALO, N.Y. - Hart Hotels and The Krog Group announce the opening of Chautauqua Harbor Hotel, a $38 million luxury property on the shores of Lake Chautauqua in Celoron, NY. The opening of the 135-room world-class destination hotel coincides with the debut of the National Comedy Center in nearby Jamestown. The newest addition to Buffalo-based Hart Hotels' Harbor Hotel Collection, Chautauqua Harbor Hotel brings a new level of luxury accommodations and world-class service to the region and is expected to draw visitors from around the world. The project is one of the largest private-sector-fueled, tourism-based developments to take place in Chautauqua County and received partial funding from several New York State economic development agencies.
David Hart, President and CEO of Hart Hotels, Inc., said, "We are thrilled to open Chautauqua Harbor Hotel, the fifth hotel in our Harbor Hotel Collection, and bring world-class, waterfront accommodations and conference facilities to the region. We look forward to welcoming scores of visitors who will come year-round to enjoy the spectacular beauty of Chautauqua Lake, the National Comedy Center, Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, Chautauqua Institution, and more."

A lakeside Carousel Bar, paying tribute to the grand carousels of yesteryear, is connected by footbridge to Sunset Island, an unparalleled setting for wedding ceremonies, private receptions, and performances.
