Join us at Bedford Springs!
We are pleased to be returning to the Omni Bedford Springs Resort for this event. Few properties can boast the historic significance of Bedford Springs Resort, located in the Allegheny Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania. For more than 200 years, the eight mineral springs located on the resort’s property served as an important gathering place. In 1905, the resort opened one of the nation’s first indoor pools fed by the property’s spring waters. Eventually, the resort would be the site of many significant moments in American history, hosting a long list of celebrities, wealthy clientèle, corporate magnates, and dignitaries from around the world. To date, the resort has hosted 10 US Presidents, seven of whom visited during their presidency.
In 2007, Bedford Springs Resort was restored to its historic grandeur after a $120 million restoration. The new resort is the most modern of meeting places, featuring state-of-the-art technology and conveniences.
Over 200 years ago, the mineral springs of Bedford Springs, PA became known as a source of rejuvenation. Today, the Omni Bedford Springs Resort’s updated facilities and luxurious guest rooms, world-class spa, and superbly restored golf course provide all the charm you expect in a historic Pennsylvania retreat with the modern conveniences you look forward to from an Omni Hotel.
