William Montgomery House - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Aaron S.

Rather than renting the William Montgomery House as an event space, I had the pleasure of viewing the site during my stay at the Lancaster Marriot and was impressed both by the novelty of seeing the façade of a building inside a hotel lobby but also the preservation of a historically significant site.

Built in 1804 for the local attorney William Montgomery, the Early Federal design of the site can be attributed to the architect Stephen Hills, the designer of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building. Preserved in an unparalleled condition, the exterior of the building provides an insight into the aesthetic that has come to be synonymous with Pennsylvania more widely.

Viewable from three floors of the Lancaster Marriot's event spaces, visitors are able to gain limited sightlines into the building, where a thoughtful attempt is made to provide a consistent décor that marries well to the design of the building.

Despite my review having been based on experiencing the site as a historic location, its unique ambience and posture is one that ensures the consideration of the space as one to rent in the future. However, even those that are not considering the venue for an event should still take a moment to view the building from within the hotel lobby and savor the opportunity to admire, at close distance, a building on the National Register of Historic Places.

A very old nice building that is connected to the hotel and the convention center.

Held my oldest child's college graduation party in the Montgomery House. We used the first floor for food and lounging. They made fresh made to order pasta dishes for our guests. The second floor was used for table seating and we had a Karaoke DJ for our guests to sing their favorite songs. On the third floor we had a large dance floor and a DJ for dancing. We had a bar on both the second and third floors. It was epic, 100 guests and everyone had a ball. The Marriott staff were awesome and took care of everything for us and our guests. Thank you Joshua Nowak, General Manager and Rebecca Nett, Sr. Catering Manager for helping us provide an epic experience for our son's college graduation party. Vincent was the manager on duty supporting our party, he was great. Top Class and the venue showed up really well.

It was fascinating to read the story of how the house was built and then saved to be a part of the Hotel! It is a sight to see!
