The Hotel Hershey
A Spanish colonial-style resort perched on a hilltop, built in 1933 and famous for its chocolate spa and reflecting garden.
The Hotel Hershey was built by Milton Hershey during the Great Depression and opened in 1933. Its Mediterranean and Spanish colonial-style buildings stand on a hilltop north of town, overlooking Hershey and the gardens below. The hotel is best known for its Chocolate Spa, which offers treatments such as chocolate baths and cocoa scrubs. The lobby fountain hall, the Reflecting Pool Garden and the Italian Garden are open to the public, and non-guests can come for afternoon tea or dine in the restaurants. The hotel is part of the Historic Hotels of America program, and its Christmas decorations are especially lavish. Spa treatments require advance booking.
