The Lewisburg Hotel is an hotel in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Standing on the northern side of Market Street, at its intersection with North Second Street, it was built in 1834. It closed in 1992, but was renovated and reopened in 1997.
It was the home of Stephen William Taylor, the first president of the University at Lewisburg (now named Bucknell University), when it was known as the Kline Hotel. It became known as Cameron House in 1874, a name which remained for over sixty years. Its bar and lounge is still named for Cameron. William Cameron was an early benefactor of Lewisburg.
In 1938, the hotel was owned by Grenoble Hotels, Inc.
In 1995, the hotel was purchased by Norm and Nancy Buck, who renovated the premises over a two-year period.
