Hershey Entertainment & Resorts announced plans to expand convention space and spa services at Hershey Lodge full-service resort and convention center for summer 2027. These plans continue the momentum of resort growth throughout The Sweetest Place On Earth, providing visitors with a new standalone day spa and enhanced meeting options.
In summer 2027, MeltSpa by Hershey day spa will move to a new and expanded location in a brand-new, 14,000-square-foot standalone building near the Lodge’s outdoor swimming pool along West Chocolate Avenue. The new spa building will offer more treatment rooms and popular services, with convenient walking access for Lodge guests and a dedicated parking lot for all spa guests. MeltSpa opened on Chocolate Avenue in September 2017 and features exclusive Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Treatments and packages in a day spa setting.
As a premier destination for meetings and conventions, Hershey continues to attract more conferences and corporate events. The planned 2027 expansion addresses increased demand with a 17,000-square-foot addition at Hershey Lodge dedicated as conference space. The new, two-story addition includes convention space on both levels with supporting public restrooms, pre-function spaces and an elevator. The expansion of the existing Cocoa Wing convention area will provide more flexible space, giving meeting planners additional options.
Enhancements to the Hershey Lodge outdoor pool and expansion of the miniature golf course are also part of the 2027 project.
In late summer 2025, The Hotel Hershey also completed a historic expansion of luxury accommodations at The Villas at The Hotel Hershey as 19 Villas now offer guests 98 new luxury rooms. Representing the second-largest investment in the historic 90-year history of The Hotel Hershey, The Villas at The Hotel Hershey offers even more luxury as part of The Official Resorts of Hersheypark.
