Historic Hotel Bethlehem

Very disappointed that the Hotel Bar’s last call was at 10:45 on a Saturday night. Guest were returning from a concert or dinner and were turned away. A high end hotel shouldn’t turn 25 guest away from their bar.

This Historic Hotel of America really emphasizes its historical character. The lobby and dining areas are handsomely finished.

Great hotel with charm. Clean, quiet and complimentary coffee was a bonus!

There was a wedding reception in the lobby. Make sure you get a room as high up as possible. We were on the topmost 9th floor and the deep rumble of the music even reached us but it was just a distant rumble. Make reservations for the restaurants early especially for the weekend brunch. Enjoy a more gracious time.

We spent 3 nights at Hotel B and absolutely loved it! From check-in, gorgeous Christmas decor, a comfy room, a fabulous Sunday brunch, the cutest Hotel Shoppe, to check out, everything was wonderful. A shout out to Jamison at the front desk who was extremely helpful!! We will definitely return in the future!!

Cute hotel, well maintained. Ample towels and toiletries. Clean room and bathroom. Located on Main Street, which is right in the heart of shopping, decent restaurants, and historic architecture ~ very walkable. The $10 parking fee was surprising for a self-park facility, especially without public transportation options to the city. Seemed like "nickle and diming". The main restaurant (1771 on the Terrace), the one we wanted, had stopped operating a while back. The menu was the same a the pub, which was fine but they should have told us when making the reservation for dinner at 1771 on the Terrace, which is promoted as fine dining. With the exception of Maria, the Front Desk staff didn't seem happy; we felt like simple questions were treated as an annoyance. Facilities and housekeeping staff were very noisy during sleeping hours ~ after 10:00 pm and before 8:00 am.

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.

They do not have night time room service. So do not get hungry at might

Great old hotel. Well kept. Very cute area. (Valet is still ironing out the kinks...)

Beautiful hotel and lovely staff-only bummer was difficulty with the key card, but it was quickly resolved

The staff were lovely and very outgoing. The room was small (which for a historic hotel is not strange) and had big, bulky furniture. The bathroom was also small and poorly ventilated, causing the room to have a musty smell. Before dinner we had drinks at the bar in the lobby, and the bartender/service was fantastic.

Very clean and unique property.

Immaculate and just an all-around wonderful hotel! Super comfortable beds and rooms are the cleanest I've ever seen at any hotel. Staff is so friendly and accommodating, especially Jamison at the front desk and Colleen at the Tap Room Bar. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel!

Per front desk, housekeeping was understaffed when we arrived, so there was a wait for the room. Our bath was not quite fully cleaned, but that was likely part of the rush to get the room ready. That said, our stay was fine, all staff were extraordinarily friendly, and breakfast was pleasantly quiet and unrushed. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Hotel Bethlehem has been rated the top historical hotel in the US for the past 3 years and they certainly live up to the hype. Friendly, professional & accommodating service. Beautiful property & furnishings, spotlessly clean. Excellent food. I cannot overstate what a terrific place this is!

First of all, we stayed for 4 nights around dropoff for freshman at Lehigh and the hotel allowed us to send several packages we had shipped and then set them all up in our hotel room after we checked-in. Second, the room was in immaculate condition, large, comfortable, a great a/c and a large and comfortable bathroom. Third, the Morvaian Sugar Cake and coffee set up in the morning is a great way to start the day when i work remotely from 6:15am - 10:00am. Fourth, the WiFi is terrific. Fifth, The bar is spectacular, the bartenders are smart, so pleasant and make it a pleasure for us to have a pre-dinner cocktail and post-dinner glass of wine. Sixth, the staff from the front desk, to the car valet's to housekeeping, to management are absolutely the best period bar none. There is not much we enjoy more than staying at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. The location is perfect to stroll the main street for shops, food and coffee.

This is a beautiful old hotel. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. As is often the case in old hotels, the room is on the smaller size. The staff was amazing, professional and accommodating. We were only there for one night, but would certainly return.

Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Rooms clean and comfortable, hotel is a beautifully maintained piece of history.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The lobby is absolutely beautiful, the service was top-notch, and the on-site restaurants were delicious - we had dinner the night we arrived and also stayed for the Sunday brunch with live music. The room was spacious, with a beautiful view of the nearby historic district, and a modern bathroom. Location is great - right in the heart of the city. Would highly recommend, and would certainly stay again when we return to Bethlehem!

No A/c. It had a very small bathrooms, and the room was very outdated. The hotel is one of the noisiest hotels. The train goes by every hour blowing its whistle. He click bells go off every hour in the hour. The walls are paper thin. If you expect to sleep, stay somewhere else.

We had a fantastic time staying at Hotel Bethlehem! The building and spaces are absolutely charming, and its location makes for an incredibly walkable experience all around Bethlehem! The staff was terriffically helpful and friendly, from assisting with an early check-in, to the highly informative bellmen (shout out Trevor for telling us about the Moravian bread, shuttle service and history of the hotel!) My only gripe is that the shower head was chest height (I'm 6'3"). I understand we're working with historic infrastructure, but was a touch awkward. In spitw of that minor item, it was a fabulous stay and I would definitely recommend.

Our stay was great - staff super friendly and helpful. The room was hot! We tried to adjust the heat down and it did not work. I finally turned it off altogether and the temperature still rose by one degree over night. It was 74 in the room. Way too hot to sleep especially for a menopausal woman!

I enjoy staying in this hotel. The only hiccup was the TV. I had to call the front desk to get someone to come and get the tv working. He was not familiar with the television so it took a little while but he was very nice. Also, it was VERY noisy outside. Maybe because it was a Saturday night. Everything else about the hotel was great. The rooms were clean and updated. Staff was nice and tried to be helpful.

Beautiful historic hotel and spacious suite.

Beautiful historic hotel. Our room was nice. The only issue we had for our overnight stay was that our room backed up to the elevator. We could hear the chime and elevator moving through our room wall. If we had been staying longer, we would have requested a room change.

A lovely historic hotel decorated very nicely. Comfortable bed. Plenty of lighting. A nice big desk to get work done. Bathroom is nicely appointed but tight on space. It was warm in mid April but the building had not been switched over to air-conditioning from heat yet so we had to open the windows for fresh air, but then had to close them due to Train in downtown traffic noise. They did bring us a fan very promptly. Right in the middle of a very lovely shopping and dining downtown area.

Gorgeous period hotel. Bathrooms not vented so odors permeated room in the morning which was not ideal. Small rooms. Ours was a double and barely room to walk around. Could easily hear next doors conversation with their children so sound was an issue if your want privacy.

The lobby area is gorgeous. The rooms are very nice, but as it is a historic hotel, they aren't that soundproof. Plus some features are outdated (phone, lighting). I'm glad I gave it a go as I normally stay in more modern hotels.

Staff was great, beautiful hotel. Very festive for the Christmas holiday. Like a lot of historic hotels, the rooms are on the smaller side. Our room had 2 doubles vs 2 queens. They were very comfortable!

Got there at 3:30 and check in wasn’t until 4pm. The person who seemed to be a supervisor kind of snapped at me and reiterated that check in was at 4pm. I was totally fine with it and do realize that being able to check in early isn’t always granted. I had just driven four hours and thought I would check. All the person had to do was tell me my room wasn’t ready, not snap at me and seem irritated that I was even at the front desk.

Staff was 5 star !!!!

Our stay was amazing. Staff was amazing.

The front desk staff should be more knowledgeable about area dining.

That said, our stay was fine, all staff were extraordinarily friendly, and breakfast was pleasantly quiet and unrushed. We would definitely stay here again.

The service people at the entrance and front desk were excellent. At dinner the matradee was a pretty rude until he figured out we were staying there. Dinner menu options limited and the dinner itself was lukewarm and just ok. Waiter was mostly elsewhere, when he did finally show up we had had enough, paid and left. Expected better. Won't eat at hotel again.

Staff was excellent, accommodating, and friendly, as per usual.

IF THERE IS A SINGLE REVIEW THAT YOU SHOULD READ ABOUT THE BETHLEHEM HOTEL, THIS IS IT!!! I am a business traveler that travels approximately 48 weeks per year. As such, I have encountered some of the best hotels and certainly some of the worst hotels throughout the country. Customer service can be the key component to the hotel experience, regardless of the room, location, price, etc…. The Bethlehem Hotel, by far, exceeds any and ALL levels of customer service imaginable!!! When I checked in to the hotel on my recent stay, I realized that my business dress shirts, which were folded in valet bag, had been lost/dropped while exiting Philadelphia International Airport. Therefore, I was left with the singular shirt that I had been wearing all day since departing Miami International Airport at 6 AM. In other words, I’m sure that my shirt STUNK!! I asked the gentleman at the front desk, Carlos, if there were any shops on Main Street in Bethlehem that sold business dress shirts. He informed me that, unfortunately, there were none. However, he offered to have one of the bellman drive me to a local mall where I could purchase a dress shirt from various department stores for my upcoming meetings. Point number one, he didn’t simply inform me that I could go to the mall myself and get a shirt. He offered the services of the hotel to drive me there to make it more convenient (even though I had a rental vehicle).

Room was lovely ad clean, amenities were nice.The hotel staff including wait staff at the restaurant on the Terrace was spotty, some were great, some have a lot to learn about customer service unfortunatly. It made our much anticipated stay at this no doubt beautiful historic hotel somewhat disappointing.

Professional and polite staff, beautiful hotel with interesting history, walking distance to shops and eateries in downtown Bethlehem.

Iconic. Staying at Hotel Bethlehem is an unique experience of traveling back to the past. I felt like I wanted to wear my grandmother’s white gloves. I loved how we could park once and walk to all of the most famous Moravian sites, which are now on the first transnational UNESCO designation site.

The location, history, and access to the Christmas city is unparalleled

Fantastic location in the heart of the Historic District. Beautiful architecture within this unique city center founded by Moravians in the mid 1700’s. Comfy bedding was just what we needed for a good night’s sleep!

Beautiful historic hotel in a nice downtown area!

They did bring us a fan very promptly. Right in the middle of a very lovely shopping and dining downtown area.

Nice vintage hotel in the middle of historic sites and fun shops. Very helpful staff. Had a very good meal. Many other dining options near by as well. Would return in the future.

The property was wonderful. Our only issue was we could not get to the hotel at 11:15 at night because Musikfest was happening and the road was closed. We had been assured that we would be able to drive to the hotel during this event. This was not the case, we had to wait 30 min late at night until the police opened the check point.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The lobby is absolutely beautiful, the service was top-notch, and the on-site restaurants were delicious - we had dinner the night we arrived and also stayed for the Sunday brunch with live music. The room was spacious, with a beautiful view of the nearby historic district, and a modern bathroom. Location is great - right in the heart of the city. Would highly recommend, and would certainly stay again when we return to Bethlehem!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Clean, quiet, and amazing old charm. The lobby bar drinks & morning brunch piano player made the stay. Excellent food and service, from the brunch to the bar and the bell hop service.

The service people at the entrance and front desk were excellent. At dinner the matradee was a pretty rude until he figured out we were staying there. Dinner menu options limited and the dinner itself was lukewarm and just ok. Waiter was mostly elsewhere, when he did finally show up we had had enough, paid and left. Expected better. Won't eat at hotel again.

Great dining options.

everything was excellent.check in was a breeze. Daniel our waiter was superb. food was delicious.

The hotel has a lot of history. The lobby was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Dinning was really good.

They do not have night time room service. So do not get hungry at might

Used the outside dining and the Sunday morning brunch. Both were excellent.

We loved the location and history of the hotel and downtown area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast in the Tap Room in the morning and the food was very good but it took over a half hour to be served our food, with only about 2 other tables occupied.
