In the heart of central Pennsylvania’s famous Dutch Country, Lancaster is a wonderful destination that makes you feel as though you’ve gone back to a time when things were simpler.
Lancaster hotel guests can experience life on one of America’s oldest and largest Amish settlements. Sample authentic fare, like dried corn and yumazitti (a noodle and tomato dish), tour farms, or simply take in the rustic Pennsylvania countryside from the seat of a hand-built, horse-drawn buggy. The Amish Farm and House offer tours but also give visitors a look at an Amish Schoolhouse.
History and Americana buffs will appreciate the more than 200 covered bridges located in Lancaster. Our hotel’s guests who want a more detailed version of the area’s history can also tour the preserved home of America’s 15th President, James Buchanan, or visit the Rock Ford Plantation, a Georgian brick mansion over two centuries old.
But Lancaster isn’t all preservation and history: The city has plenty of modern offerings, as well. If you’re looking for more recent culture and entertainment options, see a show at Sight and Sound or the American Music Theatre. You could also spend the entire day simply shopping at Lancaster’s Tanger and Rockvale outlet centres! If you are travelling to Lancaster with children, check out Dutch Wonderland. With over 35 child-friendly rides and attractions, this theme park will not disappoint. Our hotels in Lancaster are also convenient to the legendary Ale Trail, where you can taste the area’s best hand-crafted microbrews.
