Boutique & extended-stay hotels to open in the region

Big-brand hotels are opening in Lehigh Valley—Delta by Marriott, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place—and historic renovated buildings strengthen the region’s boutique and hotel cred.

Together, the new hotels and those under contract are unlocking 720 new rooms to meet the anticipated visitor demand, which was steadily increasing before the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. and has been on the rise for over the past 10 years.

Even since the pandemic, the region has seen some of the strongest hotel demand in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since March 2020. Once all of these are open, Lehigh Valley hotel room totals will be over 7,000.

So, what’s recently been opened or is yet, set to soon open? Let's review the list and get you checking into something different.

The Americus Hotel by Wyndham (opened July 2021) is a newly renovated 13 story building from a glorious era where high ceilings and arched windows are the focal point of the architectural design. It has been brought back to life and approved by the historical society. This renovation features a magnificent ballroom with seating of up to 400 guests, a spectacular mezzanine, and a luxurious lobby, plus meeting rooms. A total of 80 guest rooms and 50 suites are open for your next reservation.
Hyatt Place / Hyatt House (opened November 2021) as a joint hotel offering 205 guest rooms. The Aster Event Center can host up to 250 attendees for a banquet-style event. The property also features its own restaurant, the Westside Grill.

Known currently as The Center Hotel Allentown, the hotel is going through an overhaul, rebrand, and reflag. The new venue boasts 11,640 square feet of flexible space that can be arranged to best suit the needs of many events. The main hotel ballroom, Venue 100, seats up to 800 in banquet rounds and has four individual parlors that make up the entire space.
