Our Hotel Decorations are Truly Magical!
For Registered Overnight Guests staying with us – be sure to take a tour of Christmas Decorations this season!
The Lobby
Built in 1922 in the midst of the Roaring 20s, the opulent lobby of the Hotel walks you back through time where you’re greeted with Moravian Stars. Exact replicas of the original lighting fixtures hang overhead as you take in the views. The striking architecture of the hotel inspired a Classic holiday design as our new golden nutcrackers line our lobby, where every corner has a touch of Christmas fantasy. Enjoy the Tap Room with its walls adorned by its many celebrity photographs of distinguished former guests. Twinkling lights, crystals and greenery make it the coziest spot on Main Street to share in holiday cheer!
Mural Ballroom
Continue to the Mural Ballroom, named for the outstanding murals painted for the hotel in 1936 by famed American artist and veteran, George Gray – the murals tell the story of Bethlehem from the walking purchase of William Penn to the industrial age.
1741 on the Terrace
Embrace the breathtaking natural views of Historic Moravian Bethlehem – a National Historic Landmark District – and the Bethlehem Star through the iconic floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows in 1741 on the Terrace. Frosted greenery, succulents & woodland animals make this space feel natural & inviting. The three mischievous elves have returned again this year to decorate the trees – they’ll be on their best behavior with our family of nesting owls, keeping watch!
Mezzanine & Grand Ballroom
Lastly, make your way to the second floor using the grand marble staircase or elevator, and you’ll overlook the entire lobby. Capture a birds-eye view of the bustling, merry holiday crowd below with the iconic Nativity scene and Moravian Star within sight atop the entrance of the Hotel.
Wrap up your tour on your way to our Grand Ballroom, to experience the festive wreaths, garland, 15’ tall Christmas tree, and premier golden cherubs to complement this opulent historic room and memorable season.
