Hotels in the Poconos

Great Wolf Lodge, Pocono Mountains

Traveling with kids to the Poconos? Why not consider Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains. Standard rooms include a fireplace, while premium rooms include separate living and sleeping quarters. Themed rooms offer fun extras like log cabins or kids’ camps. If you’re not familiar with Great Wolf properties, each one is a vacation destination in itself. The Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains has a state-of-the-art water park, with 16 attractions. Since it’s indoors and a comfortable 84F, it’s accessible all year long.

Paradise Stream Resort

Planning a romantic getaway to the Poconos? A dreamy spot in the heart of the Poconos is Pennsylvania vacation. The Champagne Tower Suite is a four-level room with a two-person whirlpool tub and an in-room heart-shaped pool. There is also a log-burning fireplace, dry sauna, massage table with heat lamp, and a combination shower/steam bath for two. Retire to your round king-sized bed with a scenic celestial ceiling. If that is a little over-the-top for your taste, you’ll find a variety of other suites, including a standard Jacuzzi Suite with a heart-shaped whirlpool bath for two, log burning fireplace, and king-sized bed. Wondering about the resort amenities? It’s all-inclusive with unlimited breakfast, dinner, and nightlife.
