Shaner Hotels acquired the 86-room Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Hershey in Pa., from Canon Hospitality Management. Other terms were not disclosed. Shaner also will operate the property and plans to implement $1.2 million in renovations to remodel guestrooms.
Additionally, the company will break ground on another hotel, a TownePlace Suites scheduled to break ground in the coming months.
“Alongside our sister hotels, the Courtyard Hershey Chocolate Avenue and the Fairfield Inn Harrisburg International Airport, the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Hershey further establishes our presence in the Hershey/Harrisburg marketplace,” Shaner Hotels President Plato Ghinos said in a statement. “The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton benefits from its prime location directly across the street from Hersheypark, making it the closest Hilton-branded product in the area to the family amusement park. Following the completion of the hotel’s full refresh, we fully expect it to become the market and segment leader for business and leisure travelers to the area.”
The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Hershey is close to area attractions such as Hershey Park, Hershey Gardens, Giant Center, Zoo America, Penn State Hershey Medical Center and the AACA Museum. In addition to standard rooms, the hotel also has two-bedroom extended suites that sleep six. Hotel amenities include a Sweet Shop, a fitness center and a heated indoor pool. All guestrooms and suites have microwaves and refrigerators.
