When Harrisburg businessmen lifted their glasses to toast the opening of the 400 bed Penn Harris Hotel in 1918, the response from the 500 assembled could be heard twenty-five miles south in York and brought a collective groan in the White Rose City. None of the six hotels in York rivaled the Penn Harris. In 1924, community leaders set up a campaign to raise funds for a first-class hotel to entice travelers to York. The Penn Harris is long gone but the Yorktowne Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, remains open today, a century later. Jim McClure tells the story of this landmark and its resilience.
