LOCATION FILE
Historic Hotel Bethlehem
Bethlehem, PA
OVERVIEW
A hotel on Main Street built in 1922 by the Bethlehem Steel interests on the site of the Moravians' First House of 1741, with murals of the town's history in its lobby. It is on the National Register and has been rated among the most haunted hotels in the country by the travel press; the hotel keeps a page about it.
HISTORY
The Sun Inn, the Moravian settlement and Bethlehem Steel are the layers under it; the hotel's own history is that of a company town's grand hotel.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
Three figures recur in the accounts: a former proprietress in the lobby, a boy in the Mural Ballroom, and a man in period dress; Room 932 is the room guests ask for and write about. The hotel tells the stories itself, which is both the source and the reason to weigh them lightly.
VISITING
A working hotel; Room 932 can be booked.
