This addition brings a new dimension of luxury and convenience to one of the city’s most beloved landmarks, situated directly across the main hotel at 437 Main Street. As a testament to the hotel’s commitment to catering to the evolving needs of its guests, these extended stay suites are designed to offer the comforts of home with the luxury of hotel living.
A New Era of Extended Stays
The Suites at 462 by Historic Hotel Bethlehem feature nine elegantly appointed one-bedroom, apartment-style suites. These accommodations are not just rooms but spacious living spaces designed to cater to the long-term visitor. With options ranging from 525 to 750 square feet, the suites are available in configurations that suit different preferences, from views overlooking the bustling Historic Main Street to more secluded arrangements for those seeking tranquility.
Director of Room Sales & Guest Experience, Kelly Ronalds, explains, “Our guests, particularly corporate executives and visiting professionals, often seek a more homelike accommodation without the transient nature of hotel stays. The Suites at 462 are our answer to their needs, providing luxury, space, and the amenities of home at a competitive rate.” Starting at $1,750 per week, these suites offer an attractive proposition for those needing extended stays in Bethlehem.
Blending Industrial Elegance with Modern Comfort
The suites boast an industrial era aesthetic that harmoniously blends with modern luxuries. Guests can expect to find king or queen-sized beds, queen sleeper sofas in the living room, and kitchens equipped with full-sized appliances and stocked with all necessary kitchenware. The provision of 65” TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a large desk in both living and bedroom areas ensures that both relaxation and work can be seamlessly integrated into the stay.
Housekeeping services twice a week, access to the hotel’s amenities including a gym, free parking, complimentary shuttle service, and room service, ensure guests enjoy the full spectrum of hotel luxury with the added space and convenience of an apartment. The ground level enhances the experience further with the Hotel B Ice Cream Parlor and Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the stay.
A Sanctuary of Relaxation: The Steel Magnolia Spa and Salon
Adding to the allure of the extended stay experience is the newly introduced Steel Magnolia Spa and Salon, located in Suite 200. Relocating from South Bethlehem to the historic heart of the city, the spa offers a range of personalized beauty and wellness services, including nails, hair, facials, massages, and more, provided by a team of licensed professionals. Ronalds notes, “The spa not only caters to our week-long visitors looking to explore Bethlehem but also serves as an ideal retreat for bridal parties and business guests seeking a break from their busy schedules.”
Enriching the Main Street and Bethlehem Experience
The Suites at 462 not only enhance the stay of their guests but also contribute to the vitality of Bethlehem’s Historic Main Street. Guests are encouraged to explore the historic district, dine at local eateries, shop at unique boutiques, and participate in the city’s famed festivals and events. This integration with the local community not only enriches the guest experience but also supports the economic and cultural vibrancy of Bethlehem.
