Colonial Hotel
"A grand colonial-style hotel and wedding venue with an indoor pool, a shared hot tub, and a spa near Mount Wachusett in north-central Massachusetts."
About The Hotel
The Colonial Hotel on Betty Spring Road is a grand colonial-style hotel and wedding venue on the edge of Gardner, offering a full-service stay rare in the north-central hills. It pairs an on-site spa and an indoor pool with a shared hot tub, a restaurant and bar, spacious rooms, and attractive grounds, near Mount Wachusett’s skiing and hiking and the region’s lakes. The setting feels upscale, and many guests enjoy the rooms and amenities, but a 3.5 rating reflects mixed service and upkeep reviews and a no-breakfast policy despite the full-service feel; the property is also a busy wedding venue on weekends. For couples, ski travelers, and event guests wanting a spa and hot tub near Wachusett, it is a comfortable choice.

What guests are saying about Colonial Hotel.
"I photographed a wedding reception at The Colonial Hotel and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff was warm, attentive, and incredibly organized — everything flowed perfectly from start to finish. The ballroom looked beautiful, the food was excellent, and the entire property offered great backdrops for photos. From a vendor’s perspective, it’s a dream when a venue runs so smoothly and treats everyone with professionalism and kindness. The couple and their guests had an amazing time, and it truly showed in every moment I captured. Highly recommend The Colonial Hotel for a gorgeous and well-run wedding celebration!"

Overall awesome staff, and amazing owners who make sure you are okay. This was my second time staying here and both experiences have been great. It’s the only place I’ll ever stay in the area. Seriously shout out to the couple that owns this hotel, good reminder that there are still good people in world. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone any day of the week."

The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With the pagoda outside for the ceremony and the amazing outdoor tent for the reception. We had family traveling who got the pleasure of staying at the hotel, as did me and my Husband, and everything was clean and comfortable. Access to the pool and hot tub, and their amazing restaurant and bar. The day of the wedding I was well taken care of, and didn’t have to worry about a single thing, everything was decorated and prepared perfectly, they took my visions and made them come to life! Both me and my husband got many updates on the day of the wedding, making sure we knew where we needed to be and what would be happening next, which helped tremendously! We couldn’t be anymore pleased, and we will forever recommend the Colonial Hotel! - Ally and Trent"
