Poconos hotel named best in the nation for sleep

Tuesday, August 26, 2025
SKYTOP, Pa. (WPVI) -- If you're thinking about squeezing in one last summer getaway, a hotel in the Poconos might be the perfect place to rest.

Skytop Lodge has been named the top hotel in the country for sleep quality, according to a new ranking by SleepJunkie. The website analyzed Tripadvisor data from June 2024 to June 2025 to identify the 200 best hotels in the U.S. where guests reported feeling the most rested.

The rankings considered several factors, including mattress comfort, room humidity, and nighttime noise levels.

Skytop Lodge, located in the heart of the Poconos, earned the No. 1 spot.

"That's a pretty big honor, if I could say so myself," said Christy Ranallo, Skytop's director of sales and marketing.



When asked what makes Skytop such a restful destination, Ranallo pointed to the resort's natural setting.

"I think it really can be attributed to a few factors," she said. "The number one thing is just being located on 5,500 acres. You get that fresh mountain air-whether you're outside all day doing activities, eating local fresh ingredients, and then tucking into bed, opening up a window a little bit and just breathing in that fresh mountain air."

And after a day of hiking, golf, zip lining, beach time, or pickleball, who wouldn't sleep well?

Two other Pennsylvania hotels also made the top 200: The Inn at Lincoln Square in Gettysburg, which offers a historic Civil War-era experience, and The Hotel Hershey in Hershey.
