“We believe we have planned a special evening that offers everyone an opportunity to celebrate 100 years of ‘Bethlehem’s Community Hotel’ at their leisure from 5pm until 10pm states Bruce A. Haines, Managing Partner of Historic Hotel Bethlehem.
Hotel Bethlehem was uniquely built to serve both the Bethlehem social scene as well as allow Charles M. Schwab to host Bethlehem Steel customers and dignitaries from around the world. The construction of the Hotel Bethlehem was his vision along with the Chamber of Commerce in order for Bethlehem Steel to compete with his former employer US Steel and the elegant new Hotels that had recently been opened in Pittsburgh.”
Haines continues, “We invite our community to join us for a fun filled evening while revisiting great moments from the Hotel’s famous past.”
