Located in a stately building on Downtown Lancaster’s Penn Square, Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square offers polished accommodations with a refined, modern style. The hotel features an American eatery, The Plough, praised for its quality and convenience, as well as an indoor pool and conference facilities, making it suitable for both leisure and business travelers.
Guest rooms are described as spacious, clean, and comfortable, often with views overlooking the city’s vibrant square. While the hotel is well maintained and the staff receive frequent compliments for being friendly and professional, some reviews note occasional waiting times for elevators during busy periods. Check-in begins at 4 PM with checkout at noon.
The property’s central location is ideal for visitors looking to explore Lancaster’s attractions. Within a few miles are landmarks such as Dutch Wonderland Family Amusement Park, Lancaster Central Market, and the Strasburg Rail Road offering scenic rides through Amish Country. This makes the hotel a convenient base for families and tourists interested in both city amenities and nearby outdoor activities.
LGBTQ+ travelers will appreciate the hotel’s welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Additionally, its proximity to airports—including Philadelphia International, Harrisburg International, and Lancaster Airport—adds to the ease of travel. Nearby hotels offer alternatives within walking distance, yet Lancaster Marriott stands out for its upscale yet relaxed ambiance in the heart of the city.
