Downtown Allentown is home to two exceptional Marriott properties, each offering a completely different vibe for your Lehigh Valley visit. Whether you’re drawn to timeless sophistication or modern, social-forward energy, there’s a perfect room waiting for you just steps from Hamilton Street.
Renaissance Allentown
Classic elegance meets modern comfort.
The Renaissance Allentown has long been the premier full-service hotel in the Lehigh Valley. Situated in the heart of downtown, this property blends classic architecture with contemporary design. Guests enjoy spacious rooms, a fully equipped fitness center, and direct access to some of the city’s best dining — including The Dime, the hotel’s signature restaurant and cocktail bar.
The Renaissance is ideal for business travelers, couples seeking a refined getaway, and anyone attending events at the nearby PPL Center. Its central location puts you within walking distance of dozens of restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions along Hamilton Street and the ArtsWalk district.
Moxy Allentown
Bold, social, and full of energy.
If you prefer a more playful, design-forward experience, the Moxy Allentown delivers. Part of Marriott’s lifestyle brand, Moxy is built for the socially adventurous traveler. The lobby doubles as a vibrant lounge — complete with games, a bar, and communal seating designed for mingling. Rooms are compact but cleverly designed, with peg walls for personal customization and tech-forward amenities.
Moxy is the go-to for younger travelers, groups planning a night out, or anyone looking for a hotel that feels more like a social hub than a traditional stay. Plus, it’s connected to downtown Allentown’s dining and nightlife scene, so the fun starts right at your doorstep.
Which Hotel Is Right for You?
Both properties are Marriott Bonvoy eligible, so loyalty members can earn and redeem points at either location. If you value spacious rooms, upscale dining on-site, and a more traditional hotel experience, the Renaissance is your best bet. If you want a trendy, energetic atmosphere and don’t mind a cozier room in exchange for an incredible social scene, Moxy is calling your name.
Either way, staying in downtown Allentown puts you at the center of the Lehigh Valley’s most exciting neighborhood — with live music, craft cocktails, and over 150 restaurants and shops within walking distance.
