The Hotel Bethlehem in Bethlehem, PA is not the only hotel in the area to be recognized among the best historic hotels in the United States. O’Brien’s Moving & Storage and Skytop Lodge share much in common. On the heels of its 96th anniversary, Skytop Lodge has been chosen as 1 of 11 finalists by Historic Hotels of America in the resort category, from among 500 nominations. Award-winning O’Brien’s Moving & Storage is also celebrating its 96th year of providing excellent customer service nationwide. Starting from a main lodge and golf course in 1928, Skytop Lodge is now a 5,500-acre resort destination. Also, just like O’Brien’s Moving & Storage, Skytop Lodge is green. The lodge has a guest linen reuse program if approved, purchases recycling products whenever possible, participates with the Salvation Army to donate materials for reuse vs. disposal in a landfill, employs a Naturalist and Historian to assist in the preservation of the Skytop Lodge property, and preserved another 4,500 acres as agriculture and are not available for development.
