History and architectural features

The Hotel Sterling is three bays wide, with a gabled parapet at the middle bay. When nominated for the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it had 33 sleeping rooms.^[2]

The hotel was built simultaneously with the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Lehigh Valley Railroad stations. Situated directly across Hamilton Street, the proximity of the hotel and stations provided travelers with convenient places to eat and stay in Allentown.^[1] With the end of passenger rail service in the 1960s, the hotel was adapted to other uses.

It was subsequently added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]

The hotel is used as the venue for the Deja Vu nightclub, which features live music acts. On June 20, 2019, it became the site of gun violence between two rival gangs, the Bloods and Latin Kings, in which ten people were shot.^[3]
