Couldn't be happier!

My wife and I held our daughter's wedding at Americus. It is hard for us to put into words how happy we are with Americus. There wasn't a single engagement we've had with the hotel's staff over the course of months where we didn't feel cared for, accommodated, and supported.

The venue is beautiful, the staff is fantastic, and the food was delicious as we kept hearing from our guests. We absolutely recommend Americus.

beautiful experience from beginning to end.

During one of the most difficult seasons of my life, after the passing of my mother, the Americus Hotel and Anne showed a level of compassion that I will never forget.

Planning an event while grieving is not easy. There are emotions you cannot prepare for, moments when you are simply trying to hold it together. From the very beginning, Anne approached everything with such empathy and grace. She did not just manage logistics. She understood the weight of what we were carrying.

Anne made us feel seen. She listened. She adjusted with patience. She reassured us when decisions felt overwhelming. There was never pressure, only understanding. She created an environment where we felt supported, respected, and genuinely cared for.

The Americus team mirrored that same compassion. Every interaction felt thoughtful, but more importantly, it was handled with sensitivity. In a time when our hearts were heavy, Anne made us feel like family. Not just guests. Not just clients. Family.

In moments of grief, you remember who shows up with kindness. The Americus Hotel and Anne did exactly that, and I am deeply grateful.

A Very Happy Wedding Day!

We were SO happy with the value we received here for our wedding! Anne and Nadine were so helpful through the entire planning process and the whole staff was super friendly! They even added a few beautiful surprise touches like a heart of roses on the bed :) Food was delish, any pivots were handled right away, and literally all our guests raved about the Skyline Ballroom! We wholeheartedly recommend the Americus!

So glad I chose Americus for my bridal shower!

Americus was the perfect place for my bridal shower. The elegant ballroom made my day look extra beautiful! From the beginning of the planning process, everything was organized very well. Set up was exactly how I planned, management was flexible in what I could do/bring to make my day great! The staff were very hands on, always available and ready whenever needed. Food was delicious, highly recommend the beef tips and chicken limon. Loved the experience!

Great place to host an event

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a bridal shower for my future bride at the Americus Hotel, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every element came together seamlessly, thanks to the outstanding support and dedication of the team, who went above and beyond to bring our vision to life.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere exuded elegance, and the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. What truly set the experience apart was the level of flexibility—they made it easy for us to tailor every detail to reflect our personal style.

As someone with high standards and a keen eye for detail, I was genuinely impressed by their responsiveness and commitment to excellence.

If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and personalized service for a wedding or special event, I wholeheartedly recommend the Americus Hotel.

Amazing all around!

Our wedding at the Americus Hotel was truly a wonderful experience! The entire staff went above and beyond to make our day special, and this from day 1. They made us feel like family, making communication easy and removing a big load of stress through their professionalism and dedication. They were always extremely efficient in addressing any concerns or questions we had, which was particularly impressive considering I was in France at the time.

The Americus Hotel really helped my husband and I, as well as all of our guests by providing us with a wedding day that we will remember and cherish forever. Their commitment to excellence and the care they put into every aspect of our special day made all the difference. We highly recommend the Americus Hotel to any couple looking to create unforgettable memories in a warm and elegant environment on their wedding day!

Americus provided such a beautiful canvas and experience for our wedding

We had our wedding at the Americus and it was absolutely beautiful. The reception was everything we wanted and the staff were a pleasure to work with. They answered all our questions, no matter how many we asked, and really made the experience a pleasure. They were really there as a support, through and through. The service was great. We never felt like we were asking too many questions or had too high of a demand. The venue itself is beautiful with the preserved architecture and art. It is a gem in the Lehigh Valley.

Dream wedding at americus hotel

My husband and I held our Wedding event at the Americus Hotel in Allentown, PA on 02/24/2024. We had about 160 guests stay at the hotel which made the whole wedding weekend feel like one giant party and there was no concerns about drinking and driving. We held our Rehearsal Dinner at the Sky Ballroom on the top floor hosting about 60 people. The dinner was delicious and the room was beautiful. Afterwards we had a welcome cocktail hour at the main lobby bar area for the majority of our guests that had checked in. Our cocktail hour and wedding reception was held inside the Historic Grand Ballroom and everything was absolutely gorgeous! We decided to go with the "Strolling Reception" with the Pasta station and the Carving station and it was a big hit with our guests! After the reception we had an after-party at the Main Lobby Bar right outside of the ballroom. I was planning my wedding from California which certainly had its challenges but luckily I had Anne, the Events Manager at the Americus and she was an absolute dream to work with. She made herself available for calls, FaceTime walk-throughs and she was prompt in answering any emails I sent. As I mentioned our entire wedding party was staying at the Americus Hotel and they graciously provided a group rate discount as incentive for our guests to book with them. Our wedding day was perfect from begging to end. The decor, the food, the drinks, everything was amazing. We have received so many compliments from our wedding guests telling us that our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to. They loved the hotel, loved the venue, loved the food! I couldn't recommend the Americus Hotel enough! If you decide to have your wedding here, you won't regret it! 5 STARS! Best day of our lives!

Memorable Event

Phenomenal event at Americus to celebrate 11 Muhlenberg College graduates. Anne, the event coordinator, was so helpful and created a seamless event for our families. The food was superb, the 11th floor Skyline ballroom was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The entire staff at the Americus is outstadning and so welcoming. Having stayed many times over the years, we were so thrilled to this memorable event at Americus and it exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

So helpful!

The venue itself was absolutely lovely. The Skyline Ballroom was perfect for our group and was an unbelievably gorgeous space. The food was fantastic, and everyone seemed very happy with the options! I was a bit worried about how strong the drinks were, but everyone seemed to know their limits, so we didn’t have any problems associated with that. Anne Abdouche was very helpful to work with, as I had never planned an event before. I appreciate how responsive she was throughout our process, as well as how flexible she was with any and all issues that came up.
