Hotel Rock Lititz wins approval to double its rooms with a 65-foot addition

Hotel Rock Lititz can move ahead with a doubling of its rooms after Warwick Township supervisors approved a 65-foot height limit for the addition.

At their Nov. 4 meeting, supervisors approved a conditional-use application from ARC One Lititz Partners for a hotel up to 65 feet in the campus industrial zone, LNP | LancasterOnline reported. The hotel at 50 Rock Lititz Blvd. would grow from 139 rooms to 278. The township’s Nov. 4 agenda listed the decision under the address 680 Furnace Hills Pike.

Two weeks earlier, on Oct. 21, the same board adopted Ordinance 308, rezoning a tract on the west side of Furnace Hills Pike, next to the Rock Lititz campus, from community commercial to campus industrial, according to the Oct. 21 agenda and a follow-up LNP report. Dave Madary of Lititz-based Madary Engineering told supervisors the addition would use the former Weiser’s Market site, with a bank parcel subdivided off, and that most of the new construction would be four stories against the existing five-story hotel. He also said the hotel may later want a rooftop element.

The same Nov. 4 meeting approved preliminary and final plans for Lititz Run School, a 1,500-square-foot schoolhouse for the local Amish community at 726 E. Millport Road, near Creek Road. The plan, prepared by Harbor Engineering of Manheim and dated Oct. 12, 2026, was proposed by John and Rosanna King.

Supervisors meet next at 7 p.m. on Nov. 18 at the municipal building, 315 Clay Road, with a 2027 budget workshop starting at 6:30 p.m.
