Hotel Sterling is a historic hotel located at Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1889-1890, and is a three-story rectangular brick building. It is in the Romanesque Revival style with Queen Anne and Eastlake influences. It is three bays wide, with a gabled parapet at the middle bay. When nominated in 1980, the hotel had 33 sleeping rooms.[2]
The hotel was built simultaneously with the constructions of the Allentown Terminal Railroad Station and Lehigh Valley Railroad Station directly across Hamilton Street to provide travelers a place to eat and stay in Allentown. With the end of passenger rail service in the 1960s, the hotel adapted to other uses. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
Today, the hotel is primarily used as a nightclub, with live music acts performing.
