A ceremonial ribbon-cutting marked the formal opening of the new East Tower of the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square. Developers Penn Square Partners and High Real Estate Group, LLC, also celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the opening of the hotel and convention center, as well as the newly refurbished rooms and amenities in the original West Tower. The $39.4 million expansion and refurbishment project adds 117 guestrooms and a signature Marriott M Club Lounge.
“This project gave others the confidence to make a significant investment in Lancaster City,” said Mark Fitzgerald, president & COO, High Real Estate Group, LLC. “It dared us to think big.”
The 87,000 square-foot East Tower expansion includes two new restaurants; Plough, located at street level, features an open kitchen and modern-American menu, and The Exchange, a rooftop bar with panoramic views.
”We’re located around the corner from the nation’s oldest working farmers market and our chefs routinely incorporate their regional ingredients into our daily dishes,” noted Josh Nowak, director of sales & marketing, Lancaster Marriott.
