Kicking off the Christmas Season in Style
Always a pleasure…..a beautiful hotel in the charming city of Bethlehem….steeped in history and filled with lovely unique shops and delightful restaurants. My husband and I have been staying at this iconic hotel for more than a decade now and each time is better than the time before. Some of the hotel staff even recognizes us on sight year after year….always friendly and gracious. This is is not just a hotel — it’s an experience….highly recommend! If you stay in late November or December — there’s the added pleasure of seeing the hotel — and the downtown area — dressed in it’s Christmas best!

A Grand Old Lady
Wonderful, classic hotel and world-class service. Touring the lobby and adjacent areas is a trip in itself, and the main avenue in Bethlehem is a renewed version of older times. Our room kept its retro charm while being thoroughly updated, and the bellmen were solicitous and also a throwback to an earlier time when service was king. We loved our stay and would gladly stay again if our travels take us back that way.

Great Birthday celebration!
This historic hotel was everything they say it is. Bell staff, front desk staff, bar staff and restaurant staff were all great! The hotel lobby, bar and restaurant were beautiful! The room was perfect! We stayed for my wife's birthday and our meal at 1741 on the Terrace was delicious and relaxed. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the cities shops, restaurants and entertainment.

Be treated like a STAR
One of the great grand hotels in America. Gorgeous reception, restaurant & ballrooms evoke bygone days. Staff always greet, serve & treat you like a celebrity (and I’ve met a few here before). Rooms are small but elegant. Because of a city water main repair, bathroom water initially flowed yellowish but cleared up after awhile & staff notified us of the temporary issue at registration. Otherwise, the best hotel in the vicinity.

Outstanding Tap Room staff (Spiros & Colleen). Great music combo trio w/vocalist. Lobby ambiance was made elegant and timeless with RJ's wonderful piano playing and song selection. An atmosphere of a beautiful genteel bygone era yet accompanied by modern amenities.

6/10 Good

Not so comfortable in Bethlehem
The staff were lovely and very outgoing. They really helped at check in and with luggage taken to our room. The room, however, was small (which for a historic hotel is not strange) and had big, bulky furniture. The bathroom was also small and poorly ventilated, with the water draining very slowly from the tub. The bed was comfortable but we felt a bit claustrophobic in the space, and it had a bad smell like damp basement (again, poor ventilation?) We also found someone's clothes in one of the drawers, which made us wonder how well the room was cleaned.
