Sun Inn Seeks New Restaurateur, Will Close in June

Bethlehem's Sun Inn is looking for a restaurateur to help write the next chapter of the venue's notable history.

The Sun Inn is accepting proposals from experienced restaurateurs with solid financial backing who are interested in running a restaurant on the second floor of the building in downtown Bethlehem, according to The Sun Inn's website.

The current restaurant will temporarily close after May 31 until the Board of Directors enters into a new agreement.

“Having a restaurant as part of the experience in the Sun Inn is important to us,” said Bucky Szulborski, innkeeper. “We want visitors and locals alike to sit and enjoy this beautiful building.”

The Sun Inn will remain open on weekends and during special events for self-guided tours, and is still available to rent for private functions.

“During this transition, we want to continue to encourage visitors and volunteers to support the preservation of our local history,” said Szulborski. “There is so much to experience here and we will continue to offer unique opportunities, like our ghost hunts, yoga lunches and member events, to keep the Sun Inn as an active part of our community.”

Questions about or applications for the restaurant position should be sent to suninn@rcn.com.

Located on Main Street, the Sun Inn is a restoration of a 1758 building which functioned as an inn in Bethlehem from 1760 to the late 1960s. The Sun Inn’s history includes an extensive list of distinguished visitors, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Ethan Allen, Marquis de Lafayette, and many others.
