Renaissance Allentown Hotel

We have hotel blocks with discounted rates at two hotels, both on the same block as the venue! This hotel is directly across the street from the reception venue (approximately a 1-3 minute walk from door to door). It offers complimentary wifi, an on-site restaurant and bar, pets are allowed, and parking is available for $16/day for self-park or $25/day for valet. Check-in is at 4:00 pm and check-out is at 11:00 am. The hotel is part of the Marriott family, so you are welcome to book with points if you have them, but points cannot be used towards the discounted wedding-block rate. Click the "View" link below to make a reservation in the discounted block! To book as part of the block, you must book by August 10th.

Flight

PHL (Philadelphia International Airport)

If you fly into this airport, we recommend renting a car to get to Allentown. The drive from this airport to Allentown is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Flight

Lehigh Valley International Airport

This is the closest airport to the wedding, but it is small and has limited flights. If you fly into this airport, we recommend grabbing an Uber, Lyft, or taxi from there to the hotels.

Travel Note

Parking for the Ceremony

Parking is available in a private parking lot for the Cathedral directly across the street from its front doors, on North 18th Street.

Travel Note

Parking for the Reception

The reception venue has an agreement with a neighboring law firm to use their private, gated parking lot. The Gross McGinley Law Firm parking lot is located at 33 S. 7th Street, Allentown, PA 18101. It is on the left side of 7th Street, past Hamilton Street, and immediately following the Lehigh County Government Center. The code for accessing this lot by keypad is: 13527#

Travel Note

Parking for the Weekend

See above for parking options offered by each hotel. If you are looking for a single, longer-term parking option (as in, you do not want to park once for the Ceremony and once for the Reception, which each have their own designated parking, as described on this page), you can also park at one of the various garages or lots maintained by the City of Allentown.
