Vigilant Crafts Wine Cabinets for Hotel Hershey
Vigilant partnered with Shea Design out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and Steve McNulty of Hershey Entertainment to fully revamp the Circular Restaurant at the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The stunning hotel overlooks Milton S. Hershey’s iconic chocolate factory and was modeled after a hotel Mr. Hershey had visited in the Mediterranean. Vigilant has worked with Hotel Hershey in the past, previously on a custom wine cellar and cabinets.
A series of cooled wine cabinets, made from beautiful black walnut, were fashioned to enclose the hotel’s new private dining area. The cabinets are fully insulated, with 1-3/4 inch thick solid black walnut framed, insulated glass doors and back panels with applied divided lite. A series of stainless steel metal rod bottle holders can store up to 600 bottles of Hotel Hershey’s choicest wine. Raised panel top and base cabinets nicely conceal the cooling system and ducting. The wine cabinets are dual zoned, meaning the water is cooled using ducted split systems. This enables the hotel to house both red and white wine at the ideal serving temperatures for guests. Attractive LED lighting completes the elegant look of the cabinets.
