Fora’s Take
The Gettysburg Hotel is a historic gem nestled in the heart of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This charming establishment's prime location on the square offers convenient access to historical attractions, restaurants and boutique shopping, serving as an ideal hub for guests wanting to explore Gettysburg at their leisure.
However, what truly distinguishes The Gettysburg Hotel is the ability for guests to choose the pace of their trip with all the amenities the hotel has to offer. Couples looking for a more adventurous pace can grab breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant before taking to the streets, exploring the historical sites. Couples looking to reconnect in a romantic, slower paced environment can just as easily do so; waking up late and grabbing their favorite drinks at the Starbucks conveniently located inside the hotel before venturing out into the square, hand in hand. The Gettysburg Hotel can do it all.
