A Historic Landmark, Reimagined For Today
Since its grand opening in 1927, The Americus Hotel has stood as a beacon of elegance, hospitality, and innovation in the heart of Allentown. Once the crown jewel of the city’s social scene, our storied hotel has hosted generations of distinguished guests — from prominent business leaders to celebrated performers — each leaving their mark on our legacy.
Over the decades, The Americus has been more than just a place to stay. It has been the backdrop for glamorous galas, timeless weddings, pivotal business meetings, and unforgettable celebrations — a true cornerstone of the community.
Today, following a meticulous restoration, The Americus Hotel blends its iconic 1920s architecture — complete with Palladium windows, crystal chandeliers, and intricate moldings — with modern sophistication and state-of-the-art amenities.
A Legacy of Grandeur
The Americus was designed to impress. From its soaring ceilings to its finely detailed ballrooms, the hotel was envisioned as a world-class gathering place for Allentown and beyond. Our Grand Ballroom, restored to its original splendor, continues to be the city’s most prestigious event space, while the Skyline Ballroom offers breathtaking panoramic views that inspire and delight.
A Vision for the Future
While we honor our past, we embrace the present. The Americus Hotel now offers cutting-edge conference facilities, gourmet dining experiences, and luxury accommodations, ensuring every guest enjoys the perfect balance of classic charm and modern comfort.
Whether you are here for a business meeting, a weekend escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, our dedicated team is committed to creating moments as remarkable as the history that surrounds us.
