The Hotel Hershey
100 Hotel Road

Whether you're a newly married couple without children, or are parents on your second go-round, The Hotel Hershey - Hershey's Park's official luxury resort - was voted one of the top 20 resorts in America by Conde Nast Traveler. This old-world-style villa, only a short trip from Pittsburgh, looks expensive but offers comprehensive deals not found anywhere else. Multiple pools, hiking trails, golfing, premiere dining, and luxury spa accommodations will make this a memorable honeymoon spot. Don't forget to be a kid (or take the kids, if this is a family honeymoon) at neighboring Hershey Park - the sweetest place on Earth.

Ledges Hotel
119 Falls Ave.
Hawley, PA 18428
(570) 226-1337

A boutique hotel in the Poconos sounds like an oxymoron - after all, the Poconos are a rustic locale deep in the mountains with plenty of old-world charm.. Tucked between rock ledges and the Paupack High Falls, this federal-style structure was first built for the John S. O'Connor Glass Factory in 1890. Celebrating the glass theme, the hotel's signature lounge, Glass, is a delicious small-plate and wine restaurant that's perfect for intimate dining. Make your honeymoon reservations here for a unique travel experience unlike any other.
