GLOBO DE HÉRCULES - DOWNTOWN LANCASTER CITY

The 'Globo de Hércules' pays homage to Lancaster’s father and son team of balloonists, John and Charles Wise. Together, they launched their ascensions from the southwest corner of Lime  & Orange Streets, as well as the town's square, while wowing the public and capturing the hearts of travelers afar. The home depicts a bygone era of Lancaster’s historic past, while providing todays visitors an easy walk to the best shops, restaurants, breweries, theaters, and the Lancaster Convention Center!
The ‘Globo de Hércules’ was recently restored with thoughtful touches throughout. The space hints to a past when things were simpler while highlighting the creature comforts one demands of today's modern spaces. Tasteful accent lighting, hardwood floors, and high quality linens ensure a good night's rest, while the smart tv and Xfinity high speed internet provide travelers the peace of mind of staying connected. The apartment is filled with afternoon light throughout and offers enough space for four guests to enjoy comfortably. You can rest assured knowing the space is professionally cleaned and cared for, and our team is readily available to ensure your experience in staying with us is the absolute very best.
