Historic Hotel Bethlehem earned a record eighth consecutive nomination in USA Today\u2019s 10Best Historic Hotel\/Resort competition. \u201cThanks to continuous energetic community support, I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll be able to defend our championship title. We\u2019re inviting the community to join us on the road to number six by voting daily,\u201d said hotel Managing Partner Bruce Haines.<\/p>\n
Community members can vote every day through noon on Aug. 3 at votehotelb.com. Winners will be announced Aug 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the 1920s, community members bought $50 shares to create this social hub,\u201d Haines said. \u201cIt has served as a gathering place for everything from business meetings to weddings. I love that we\u2019ve seen people get engaged here, then married here, then host their baby showers with us. It\u2019s beautiful. You just don\u2019t see this type of deep community engagement in those big box hotels.<\/p>\n
\u201cHistoric Bethlehem Museums & Sites is our day-in day-out most valued community partner as the backbone of our Heritage Tourism initiative. HBMS helps us immerse our guests beyond the history of this iconic property further into the surrounding authentic colonial experience including the UNESCO World Heritage properties adjacent to the hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cThe hotel kicked off its national marketing campaign as a \u201cLuxury Historic Destination Hotel\u201d last fall after Bethlehem\u2019s Historic District attained America\u2019s No. 1 Best Main Street by USA Today.<\/p>\n
For the third consecutive year, Historic Hotel Bethlehem is partnering with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs to encourage voting. The IronPigs home, Coca-Cola Park, recently earned the USA Today No. 1 Best Minor League Ballpark in America. In addition, they have the distinction of being the Minor League Baseball attendance champions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published July 18. 2026 08:58AM Historic Hotel Bethlehem earned a record eighth consecutive nomination in USA Today\u2019s 10Best…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120],"class_list":["post-246626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
