The Cartoon Network Hotel: A Dream Stay for Fans
If you’ve ever dreamt of spending a night surrounded by your favorite cartoons, you’re in luck — the Cartoon Network Hotel is (almost) open for business.
The Cartoon Network Hotel, located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, right next to Dutch Wonderland, is now accepting reservations for its June 2020 opening. The resort embodies the whimsical charm you would expect from the creators of beloved shows such as Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, Johnny Bravo, and many others.

“From the moment you enter the lobby, you’ll realize this is unlike any place your family has stayed before,” the hotel explains on its site. “With our character-themed guest rooms and Dream Suites, it’s like having a sleepover…in a cartoon!”
The nine-acre property, as reported by Lancaster Online, takes over the old Continental Inn, which was purchased in 2018 for $4.7 million. Although the Cartoon Network Hotel was initially slated to open last summer, it experienced a few delays along the way.

“The Cartoon Network Hotel will be unlike any other property in the region,” stated Rolf Paegert, Chief Operating Officer of Palace Entertainment. “Cartoon Network characters and theming will bring the property to life and offer magical, interactive experiences around every turn. This hotel is going to set the standard for guest-focused, themed lodging immersion.”

Beyond the rooms, the Cartoon Network Hotel will also partner with Dutch Wonderland, the amusement park next door. Consequently, guests of the hotel receive special admission discounts to the park and its 35 family-friendly rides.
Though the hotel’s precise opening date isn’t set just yet, cartoon fans can start planning their late summer vacations to the park now. Standard rooms start at $289 a night while the hotel’s Dream Suites start at $489 a night.
