What to Expect from Historic Hotel Bethlehem's Extended Stay Suites & Spa
In April, Historic Hotel Bethlehem debuted its new spa and extended stay suites, located just across the street from the main hotel. Both were prompted by popular demand, as Director of Room Sales and Guest Experience Kelly Ronalds says vacationers and corporate guests alike had been looking for extended stay options featuring suites with kitchens, and bridal parties were eager to take advantage of spa packages. Now, there are nine suites to choose from. “Industrial Era style meets modern luxury in roomy 525-, 650- or 750-square-foot spaces either overlooking Bethlehem’s historic Main Street for a view of everything going on downtown or tucked away for more peace and quiet,” says Ronalds. Meanwhile, the spa offers a full menu of services, including manicures and pedicures, hair styling and coloring, facials, massage, wraps, makeup, waxing and spray tanning. “Guests can also enjoy deep relaxation with salt therapy and the infrared sauna,” says Ronalds. “The Steel Magnolia Spa and Salon at the Suites at 462 envelops guests in a relaxing atmosphere.” What’s more, the hotel is also excited to bring back its Saturday morning history tours this summer for the first time since the pandemic!
