Directions to Hotel

The following will give you directions to reach the Conference Hotel from most areas in our regions. We hope they are appropriate and will assist you with your travel plans.

The Lancaster Host Resort & Conference Center
 2300 Lincoln Highway East (Route 30)
Lancaster, PA 17602
Toll Free: 1-800-233-0121  ~  Local Phone: 1-717-299-5500
Fax:1-717-295-5116

First of all, if you need to FLY to the conference, you have a few options.

First, Lancaster DOES have an airport but service may or may not be available. Small municipal airports are struggling to keep commercial carriers interested. If you're interested in checking, the airport (LNS) is commercially covered by "Cape Air" through BWI in Baltimore, MD. The Lancaster Airport website is www.lancasterairport.com.

The second option is Harrisburg International Airport (MDT). Covered by many major airlines, the airport is approximately a 40 minute drive from the hotel via 4 lane, limited access highway (PA283 & US30). All normal services, including car rental, are available.

Your next option might be Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Again, with most major airlines available and all services. Rand McNally (online) indicates that Philly is 63 miles from the hotel and will be approximately a 1 hour and 40 minute drive.

Finally, from my point of view, is the Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI). Reasonably easy access to major highways via the Baltimore Beltway (I495), I83 North (through York, PA) and US30 to the hotel. Again, from Rand McNally, your distance is just under 100 miles and estimated at 1 hour and 50 minutes.

The form in this section can be used to obtain driving directions from a starting address (that you input) to the Lancaster Host Resort in Lancaster, PA. You will need to have access to the internet (DUH! - You're already there if you're reading this) since this form will take you directly to the Rand McNally site and load the data you enter into the form. You need ONLY enter your starting address. The form "MAGICALLY" knows where you want to end up and it will handle the rest. When you get the directions, look them over closely. The committee cannot be held responsible for you getting to Lancaster, PA by way of Butte, MT!!!

If you're driving, and have a GPS device that allows input of Latitude-Longitude data, the coordinates of The Lancaster Host Resort are

40°01'34.74"N Latitude and 76°12'49.10" W Longitude

The one I use doesn't allow latitude-longitude input but allows me to input the name "Lancaster Host Resort" as a "Point of Interest" and it has found it without problems and the directions were accurate.

The following table will give you and idea of distances from some of the metropolitan areas of the East coast in order to help you with your decision as to whether to drive or fly.
