You Can Stay The Night In This Converted Train Depot In Pennsylvania

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.

A transportation hub for travelers to and from Scranton, Lackawanna Train Station permanently shut in January 1970.

Seven years later, the former train depot earned a spot on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The converted train depot, paying homage to its rich past, opened as a hotel in the early 1980s. Today, the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel beckons guests with its majestic decor and plush rooms.

Book one of the 146 rooms or suites in the six-story hotel.

Amenities include room service, flat screen TVs, wifi, and an in-room refrigerator. Start your day with complimentary bottled water, tea, or coffee, available right in your room.

Enjoy other amenities, such as an airport shuttle, pet-friendly rooms, a fitness center, and a business center.

Dine right in the hotel at Carmen's 2.0 Restaurant & World Tour. The charming restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Station Cafe, another hotel eatery, offers coffee and pastry.

Don't forget to explore Scranton. The hotel is within walking distance of Nay Aug Park, Scranton Iron Furnaces, and the Steamtown National Historic Site.
