UPDATE: The Cartoon Network Hotel has reopened on Aug 3, 2020.

Does your family host the We Bare Bears on a regular basis? Can't refuse Adventure Time with Finn and Jake? If so, you'll want to "toon" in for some exciting news.
Those beloved cartoons for kids have come to life at the debut Cartoon Network Hotel in Lancaster, PA, so start brainstorming future family weekend trips. The brain-child of the network and Palace Entertainment is a nine-acre destination with 165 themed rooms, a resort-style outdoor pool (designed with Finn and Jake in mind), an arcade with nods to Ben 10, a full-service restaurant and homage to characters past and present. (The Johnny Bravo and Powerpuff Girls appearances will certainly please the millennials in the brood).
"Connecting our fans to the worlds we create has always been integral to our storytelling," Erik Resnick, Sr. Vice President, Business Development and Commercial Strategy, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim and Boomerang, said in a statement. "Partnering with Palace Entertainment to open our first hotel is an opportunity to create memories for our fans and families.”
