Hotel Bethlehem is a historic hotel that sits right on Main Street in Bethlehem, PA. For the holidays, they decorated the entire lobby with holiday decorations. There are hints of historic architecture found throughout the hotel, from the grand staircase in the lobby to the mail system and the general layout.

There was a lounge area reserved for hotel guests in the lobby. The staff was friendly and accommodating for our stay. We were able to check in early and throughout the check-in process the staff made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The hotel rooms were very elegant and even had scented room spray that can be bought in the hotel shop found in the lower lobby.

On the Sunday before Christmas, they hosted a lavish Santa Brunch in the dining room of 1741 on the Terrace. They had caricatures, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and a live piano player. The food for the Santa Brunch was laid out in one of the ballrooms and had everything from breakfast foods, an omelette station, delicacies, and dessert/pastry stations. The food was delicious!
