When guests walk through Wind Creek Bethlehem, they step into more than a luxury resort. They are stepping into history, artistry, and innovation. Nearly every corner has a story of the property’s past, and some striking details are hidden in plain sight. From replicas of authentic blueprints lining the hotel walls to murals and art installations, Wind Creek Bethlehem offers a piece of history that connects the past and present, turning every visit into an enriching experience.

Original Bethlehem Steel Blueprints
In select rooms of the new hotel tower, guests will find a unique tribute to the city’s steelmaking legacy: wallpaper featuring replicas of Bethlehem Steel blueprints. Once used to build the city, these original plans are a powerful nod to the craftsmanship that shaped Bethlehem’s identity.
The “X” Structures on the Hotel Towers
As guests approach the Wind Creek Bethlehem Hotel, they’ll notice the striking “X” structures accenting the building’s exterior. This design is a purposeful homage to Bethlehem’s industrial past, mirroring the framework of the historic Ore Bridge, a massive 542-foot steel structure that is now a proud landmark at the property’s front.


Skylight Shadows at The Outlets at Wind Creek
When strolling through The Outlets, look up at the staggered skylights. Their rhythmic design symbolizes the rise and fall of the sun, creating an interplay of light and shadow that shifts throughout the day—a subtle detail that recognizes both movement and balance, like the evolution of Bethlehem itself.
Dean Cornwell Mural
Above the escalators located off the hotel lobby, a striking mural by illustrator Dean Cornwell captures the spirit of American industry and Bethlehem Steel’s heritage. Originally created for Bethlehem Steel, the restored mural blends depictions of machinery and laborers with golden figures symbolizing progress and innovation, honoring the legacy of the region.

“Wind Creek Bethlehem isn’t just a resort; it pays homage and respect to the creativity and resilience that define this region,” stated Patrick Ryan, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Wind Creek Bethlehem. “These details transform a visit, giving guests a deeper connection to Bethlehem’s roots while showcasing a vision for the future.”
