My husband and I visited the Swiftwater to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. I could not have been more impressed. From the elegant decor, to the welcoming staff, and the amazing food. They helped to make our anniversary a memorable experience. I have never stayed at an establishment where every member of the team made you feel welcome and at home. They all go above and beyond to make you feel special and ensure you have all that you need. The rooms are comfortable and luxurious. We enjoyed time in the concierge lounge playing some of the many games that are available. A dip in the heated pool and a beverage by the cozy fire, made for the perfect end to each day. Thankful to have found this hotel and a big thank you to all of the staff for the perfect weekend. We can’t wait to visit again.
We had such a great experience at the Swiftwater Hotel during our bachelorette getaway! Felix, our driver for four days, was absolutely amazing — super attentive, always made sure we were checked in for all of our activities before he left, and even helped resolve a situation that wasn’t his responsibility. He was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely warm.
Andrew from concierge was also incredible — extremely attentive, welcoming, and quick to step in and fix an issue that wasn’t his fault. Both Felix and Andrew went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and memorable. We truly appreciated their kindness and would highly recommend the Swiftwater Hotel — and definitely suggest requesting Felix as your driver if you visit!
OMG! I heard about this boutique hotel via Tik Tok and was familiar with the area as I’ve been to Mt. Airy Casino in PA in the past. This lovely hotel stay was WONDERFUL. My sister and I decided to have a weekend getaway and the service from the moment we stepped on site on the property, to the entrance at the lobby and front desk was exceptional. The staff was friendly, professional and personable. The ambiance and decor lovely. Loved our room and the beds are oh so comfy and delightful. Slept wonderfully! They have a heated pool, firepit and restaurant on site. We didn’t get a chance to try the fine dining but saw other hotel guests enjoying themselves. Also the hotel is conveniently located a short drive away to the Crossings Premium Outlets, Dunkin across the street and Mt. Airy Casino and the Candle Shoppe. Thanks for a lovely experience. I’d recommend The Swiftwater and am already booking my next trip for my spouse and sibling birthdays this winter.

Olivet Bartender’s : Jason & Bradley are absolute startenders!
My significant other and I had a fantastic evening at Swiftwater hotel, thanks in large part to Jason & Bradley. The bar wasn’t packed, and they were incredibly attentive and managed to serve everyone with a smile.
There mixology skills are top-notch—the Old Fashioned Bradley made was perfectly balanced. The Charlie’s Angel he made was refreshing and exactly what the Missus needed. He was fast, efficient, and clearly knew his way around the bar. Jason was the subject matter expert mixologist. Beyond the great drinks, they were engaging and genuinely personable, making us feel welcome and valued. Definitely ask for Jason or Bradley if you’re looking for a great drink and an even better experience!
Our stay at the Swiftwater has been absolutely amazing! The hospitality here is unmatched, and the staff truly go above and beyond. Dinner at Olivet was such a wonderful experience, the food was fantastic, and they even acknowledged that it was my boyfriend’s birthday, which made our celebration extra special.
Bradley was outstanding both at the pool and restaurant. He was so friendly, attentive, and made the most delicious drinks that elevated our experience. Alex, our waiter, was equally amazing, she gave us excellent recommendations on what to eat and made sure everything was perfect. The steak was delicious.
We are absolutely loving our stay at the Swiftwater and can’t wait to come back with friends and family for another relaxing getaway!
