The Hotel Brotherhood USA was a benevolent and mutual aid society founded in 1883 by African American hotel workers. A precursor to the labor movement and Civil Rights Movement, the Hotel Brotherhood advocated for equal pay for Black hotel workers and provided members with healthcare, life insurance, and death benefits. The historic union hall moved to its current location in 1906.

A historical marker was unveiled in 2016.

The Bainbridge Club, the social arm of the Hotel Brotherhood, opened in 1924. Membership was open to the public. The Bainbridge Club was jumping during Philadelphia’s golden age of jazz.

The Hotel Brotherhood USA was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in August 2023.
