Giant Center and Hersheypark Stadium both sit on the Hershey Entertainment & Resorts campus in Hershey, PA — close enough to each other that one hotel works for either one. Inn of the Dove is about 12.5 miles from Giant Center and roughly 13 miles from Hersheypark Stadium, both a 16–20 minute drive depending on traffic.
Between the two venues, there’s almost always something on the calendar — Hershey Bears hockey and arena concerts at Giant Center year-round, and major touring acts at Hersheypark Stadium each summer. This guide covers both venues and why Inn of the Dove, a private adults-only hotel, is the stay couples come back to no matter which one they’re headed to.
Two Venues, One Hotel
Giant Center
A 10,500-seat indoor arena hosting events year-round:
- Hershey Bears AHL hockey (October–April)
- Touring concerts across all genres
- WWE events & Disney on Ice
- 150+ events per year
Hersheypark Stadium
An outdoor stadium inside Hersheypark, active during the park’s season:
- Major touring acts each summer
- Outdoor concert season runs roughly May–August
- Large-capacity outdoor format
- Separate ticketing from park admission
Planning Tip: Both venues are close enough to each other that you don’t need to choose your hotel based on which one you’re attending. Check the event schedule, book your suite, and the drive is nearly identical either way.
Why Couples Choose This Over a Standard Hotel
Most hotels near either venue mean a lobby full of other event-goers and thin walls. Inn of the Dove is a small, adults-only property exclusively for couples — no children on the grounds at any time, no pets, and corridors that stay genuinely quiet. Park once, drive 16–20 minutes to whichever venue your event is at, and come back to a suite that’s entirely yours.
The Suite You Come Back To
Every suite at Inn of the Dove includes a private jetted hot tub. Two suites add a private heated indoor pool. Most include a fireplace. These go first for event weekends at either venue:
Dove Swimming Pool Suite
Beach Swimming Pool Suite
Black and Gold Romantic Suite
Sweetheart Romantic Suite
See every option on the Rooms & Suites page.
