The Swiftwater

I had a great experience at the Swiftwater. Rubin the bell hop was amazing. Very helpful and showed me how things operated in the room. This was great because I was a solo traveler. All areas of the hotel were very clean and all the staff were very friendly.

This hotel, Swiftwater was absolutely the best experience, clean and stunning. I went with my cousin on a spur of the moment getaways and it was perfect! The entire staff, and I mean every single person was lovely and helpful, the restaurant was delicious and the bar was great! We had a great room which allowed us access to the Lounge, awesome…we will be back! One of our best experiences!!

I absolutely loved my stay at The Swiftwater Hotel. It’s the perfect relaxing escape from the city peaceful, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. I highly recommend booking the Plunge Pool Suite. Having a private pool made the experience feel so luxurious and completely worth it. Breakfast at The Olivet was a highlight. The French toast was amazing and definitely a must-try. Desaki, another restaurant on the property, offers a fun hibachi experience. Our chef Steve was fantastic! Talented, funny, and made the dinner so memorable. The Concierge Lounge was also a nice bonus. They serve light bites and beverages throughout the day, which made the stay feel even more comfortable and elevated. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

First time at this special brant new resort! Appearance was exquisite upon entering the main lobby yet rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were very very down to earth friendly and accommodating. Family owned - and run like a team of family - yet with top of the line amenities. Great combination1 Especially loved the backyard view with deer visiting and the indoor/outdoor swimming pool connection. Very clever! Ample parking. So close to so many restaurants and shopping and even a short travel to famous Pocono Raceway!!! Did not disappoint. Instead - exceeded our expectations! Definitely worth the visit and definitely worth coming back.

We just had dinner last night and it was excellent! Great drinks at the bar with Chris. Great ambiance, this hotel is beautiful and the staff treated us like we were celebrities. Glad to see this kind of business in the Poconos. We will be coming back! I suggest the Dante margarita and the pork chop with maple bourbon glaze.

There's finally a real luxury hotel in the Poconos! We just returned from The Swiftwater Hotel and our trip was awesome. We stayed in the Plunge Pool Suite and it was absolutely worth it. Yes, you read that right - a private, heated saltwater pool RIGHT IN THE ROOM. Not a hot tub, but an actual 4'6" deep pool with a waterfall feature. The water is crystal clear and the pool guy will call you each day to schedule a time to test it daily. It's in a heated lounge area attached to the room. Since it's saltwater, there's no smell of chlorine. The waterfall was also nice to fall asleep to, and it was really cool swimming while it was snowing outside. The main indoor/outdoor heated pool is just as awesome. The pool at night is fun too, with color-changing lights and a poolside firepit. Our suite gave us access to the concierge lounge on the 5th floor, which became our spot for coffee and snacks. The best part was watching dozens of deer come down the mountain each day to eat food that the hotel provides. Look for them right before dusk. It's like a Disney movie. The lounge was open 24/7 and had comp beer, water, juice, and snacks. Dining here was great too. The Olivet is right off the lobby. Service was fantastic. LOVED the scallops, Old World Italian Sunday Gravy, and the tableside Bananas Foster. Try the spicy Dante's Inferno margarita and DON'T miss the French Toast Brulé at breakfast - worth every calorie! Desaki is also like a 30 second walk next door and serves incredible sushi and hibachi. Our hibachi chef Vino made lunch an absolute blast. If you look at the menu, don't let the prices stop you from trying it. The portions are HUGE. We ordered 1 app, 2 sushi rolls, and 1 hibachi. After the apps and sushi, we had to take the hibachi to go. Room amenities are top-notch. Fast WiFi, 65" TV with Apple TV, and the most comfortable robes. The bathroom has a rainfall shower and illuminated mirrors. My wife said it was like staying in a spa. Location is perfect - just 2 hours from NYC/Philly area, close to skiing at Camelback and various outdoor activities. We spent most of the time at the hotel, just enjoying it. There's also a Sheetz about 1 minute drive away. 1 minor suggestion: The plunge pool area could use a few more hooks for towels and our damp clothes. We really appreciated that there were no hidden "resort fees" too. Definitely planning a return trip for the summer.
