The Tally-Ho Hotel and the Mardelle Manor are located just steps from Bestor Plaza, the center of all Chautauqua activities.


The Tally-Ho Hotel & Restaurant

The Tally-Ho has a long, rich tradition as an integral part of Chautauqua Institution. The hotel and restaurant was purchased by Eleanor and Jack Streeter in 1939 and have remained in the family ever since. Over the years, the Streeters and their partner, Edna Lawson, built a reputation as cordial hosts entertaining artists performing at the Institution, families, friends gathering for reunions, and individuals looking for a place to spend time relaxing and enjoying all that Chautauqua has to offer. The Tally-Ho is now run by the Streeter's son, Richard, his wife Janet, and their two children Stephanie and Jason. The current generation of Streeters continues their family's tradition of providing home-made breakfasts and dinners in a convenient, pleasant setting while ensuring that guests enjoy all aspects of their Chautauqua experience. 


The Mardelle Manor

In 1998, Richard Streeter and John Turney acquired the Mardelle Manor.  John began work at the Tally Ho in 1961 as a teenager and developed the same appreciation for good service established by the Streeter family.  Richard and John remained friends over the years and took the opportunity to build upon the hospitality established at the Tally Ho at a second convenient location just a block away.

The family tradition is reinforced by the name "Mardelle" as it represents the names of the owner's mothers. From Mary, the name of John's mother and Richard's mother in law we got "Mar." From Edy, John's mother in law, we took "D." Finally, we honored Eleanor, Richard's mother, by using "Ele." Joining them together we formed the name Mardelle.
