Although chocolate takes center stage in Hershey, Pennsylvania, The Hotel Hershey deserves its share of the limelight, too. A tribute to the grand hotels of Europe—inaugurated in 1933 by Milton S. Hershey, the chocolate king himself—it holds court on 300 acres of manicured hillside above the town. Guests select from 276 accommodations, including 48 premium cottage rooms. All come with today’s four-star, four-diamond comforts and conveniences, an opulent period decor, and signature Hershey touches.
Meetings of 8 to 450 people gather in 25,000 square feet for events. The list of resources on-site includes 20 rooms and garden venues, the latest audiovisual and communications equipment, and dedicated teams of catering, tech, and meeting professionals. But The Hotel Hershey also shares 100,000 square feet of additional conference space with the 665-room Hershey Lodge and another 10,672 square feet in the midst of 36 fairways at Hershey Country Club. Another family member, the Center for Learning & Leadership Development, organizes team-building programs and more.
Downtime diversions start with those 36 holes of championship golf and go on to the sweet indulgences of three restaurants and The Spa At The Hotel Hershey. Guests can also dive into the countless attractions of the town that chocolate built—together with those of nearby Harrisburg, Gettysburg, and Lancaster.

From the beginning of the process all the way through the event, everything was great! They brought up fantastic ideas to make our event even more spectacular. The entire staff throughout the hotel was mega friendly and always asked if anything was needed.The facilities inside and out were impeccably maintained. This was a great retreat for our General Managers! We will definitely spread the word about how great of a place this was and how smoothly everything ran!
Overall Rating: 5.0/5

Great spa - a must-visit! Lots of options for spouse tours - Hershey tour, Amish country, etc. Rooms recently updated - but retains original charm. Plus - chocolate at check-in, chocolate on your pillow, chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner....who could complain??
