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!

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!!

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.

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.
