The hotel is owned by Bears Creek Hershey
Hotel, LLC, a joint development between Shaner and Chafia Capital Partners, a
real estate investment and private equity firm.
The property will be managed by Shaner Hotel Holdings, LP, and was
financed by Clearfield, Pa.-based CNB Bank.
“We have been quite active in hotel
development the past several years, and the fruits of our labor are coming on
line,” said Plato Ghinos, Shaner
president. “We expect to open an
additional four hotels in 2017 and another five projected to open in 2018.
“We are quite upbeat on
our outlook for hotel real estate and continue to have an aggressive appetite
to build respected brands in markets with high demand generators and barriers
to new entry.”
Located at 515 E. Chocolate
Avenue in historic Hershey, Pa., the four-story hotel is nestled between
downtown Hershey, the Hershey Country Club, Hershey Chocolate World,
Hersheypark and the Hershey Medical Center.
Additional nearby attractions include Indian Echo Caverns, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course and ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park.
“While we always design
our hotels to be a part of the local community, we took special steps for this
property to architecturally enhance it to match Hershey’s historic downtown, providing
such local touches as brick and limestone,” Ghinos added.
Hotel amenities include
guest laundry, fitness room, indoor pool and full-service business center.
The hotel features the new Courtyard
Refreshing Business lobby, which includes the C-Bar, serving breakfast, coffee
and cocktails, as well as flexible seating options ranging from a communal
table in the middle of the action to more private media booths with
high-definition televisions to a more intimate, semi-enclosed lounge area.
Guest rooms offer free Wi-Fi, plush bedding and a guest room entertainment package which includes 40 HD channels, an interactive channel guide and internet TV equipped with Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Crackle and Pandora.

“This property is
configured to comfortably accommodate both business and leisure travelers that
are coming to Hershey in larger numbers every year,” said Lance Shaner, Shaner Hotels chairman.
“That’s what made this
location so appealing, its close proximity to all the key locations in the
city. With our headquarters just across
the way in State College, we are particularly gratified to open this
one-of-a-kind hotel in our backyard.
“As the newest hotel in
Hershey, we expect the property to ramp up quickly as it takes its rightful
place as the destination of choice for business and leisure travelers to the
Sweetest Place on Earth.”
