Americus Hotel is an historic hotel, which is located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Built between 1926 and 1927, it is a 13-story yellow brick building located 541 West Hamilton Street in Center City Allentown.[2]

The hotel has a classic 1920s Jazz Age design and was built by a group of Allentown businessmen who wanted to erect a first-class hotel in Center City Allentown, the city's central business district.[3]

In 1984, in recognition of its historic significance, the hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The hotel also has been named one of the nation's Historic Hotels of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
