Gettysburg Hotel

About

The Gettysburg Hotel is located in the heart of historic downtown Gettysburg Pennsylvania and is walking distance to the battlefield, attractions, shops and restaurants. The Historic Best Western Gettysburg Hotel has a tradition of hospitality that dates to 1797, when James Scott first opened his tavern. In the summer of 1863, the hotel played witness to one of the seminal events in American history during a pivotal three-day Civil War battle. President Lincoln honed the immortal words of his Gettysburg Address at the Wills House, just steps away from the hotel. Nearly a century later, the hotel served as President Dwight Eisenhower's national operations center. After a careful and detailed restoration, the Historic Gettysburg Hotel once again welcomes guests to share in its rich legacy. Each of the 119 well appointed guestrooms and suites at the Best Western Gettysburg hotel are designed with today's traveler in mind. This historic Pennsylvania hotel boasts over 9,000 square feet of beautifully appointed meeting space, including a magnificent grand ballroom full of history. The hotel's location and proximity to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Harrisburg and Hershey make it an ideal spot for traveling to a variety of historic sites and places of interest including the area's unique antique shops and the popular Boyd's Bear Country.
