Skytop Lodge, on a 5,500 acres (22 km) wooded site in Skytop, Pennsylvania, in the Poconos, is a resort hotel which opened in 1928. It was designed by the Olmstead brothers of Boston and operated as a private club until the 1960s. It is a member of Historic Hotels of America.
The hotel has Dutch Colonial Revival styling, described as "a Dutch Colonial-style field-stone castle in a country club setting." The main building, with its fieldstone facade, has been described as looming "like a palatial hunting chateau in a wide clearing in the woods-- so grand you might think you were trespassing on the estate of an English lord."
Its golf course was begun in March 1926, and was opened in 1928 along with the hotel.
