The railroad in Scranton, in the early 20th century, played a significant role in every day life. Travelers journeyed to and from Scranton, oftentimes via the Lackawanna Train Station. Today, that regal train station serves as a hotel for travelers ready to explore Scranton and beyond. An unforgettable experience awaits at this converted train depot in Pennsylvania.

The Lackawanna Train Station, built for a half a million dollars, made its debut in 1908. The train depot's design was inspired by the French Renaissance.
