Set amid peaceful scenery and a wealth of unique attractions and family activities, including the King of Prussia Mall, Longwood Gardens, QVC Studios, and the Downingtown Country Club, the Hotel is in the center of one of America's favorite vacation destinations.
Noticeable upgrades start in the Hotel's new main lobby, where guests will enjoy an updated Link@Sheraton(SM) experienced with Microsoft®. Guests can utilize this space and come together to meet, connect or relax. Complimentary amenities include fully-wired workstations, free WiFi, newspapers, printing services, TV and more.

Fitness-minded guests will find plenty to help them stay in shape when staying at the Hotel, including a brand-new fitness center with state-of-the-art Life Fitness Equipment, and a newly resurfaced pool and sauna.
Guests looking for the perfect dining experience will not be let down by the White Horse Tavern and Wine Bar, the Hotel's on-site restaurant. Originally built in 1715, the White Horse Tavern of the Brandywine Valley was one of the first licensed public houses in America. Extensive renovations have created a more intimate atmosphere. With white trim and ornate decor, window embellishments and four fireplaces, the restaurant now radiates a classic colonial ambiance. Those looking for a relaxed night out will love the new wine bar, which has retained its pub-style charm while adding an all-new selection of top-tier wines.
In addition to its physical renovations, the White Horse Tavern and Wine Bar has also revamped its menu to support local farmers and provide fresh, farm-to-table meals. The focus is on using locally sourced ingredients in recipes whenever possible. The White Horse Tavern and Wine Bar is committed to offering delectable menu selections for all guests, including those with special dietary requests.
Restaurant renovations include the recently launched outdoor space. "The Patio at the White Horse Tavern and Wine Bar" is an outside oasis where guests can bask in the sunshine on the newly renovated patio, complete with delicious farm-to-table fare, refreshing cocktails and lush landscaping. This space can also be reserved for private events.
GF Management, a leading national hotel ownership and management company purchased the Sheraton Great Valley Hotel, through an affiliate just a year ago in June 2014. "We determined that this acquisition was a great opportunity to expand GF's owned portfolio with a top quality asset" said Stan Glander, Chief Operating Officer for GF Management.
