Hotels Princeton

Situated conveniently between the thriving metropolitan regions of New York and Philadelphia, Princeton has become home to commuters from both urban centers. It is a place to relax and unwind in relative calm and tranquility, offering the advantages of being small enough for familiarity with neighbors and friends, yet cosmopolitan for even the most worldly of traveler.

Take for instance, the Princeton Art Museum. Founded in the late 1800s, the museum is home to more than 70,000 premiere works of art - antique and contemporary alike - from around the world. The museum's Asian art collection is particularly revered and visited, as it includes a huge array of original Chinese calligraphy, paintings, carvings of jade and authentic ceramics and bronze works.

For history aficionados the exciting site of the Battle of Princeton is one historical landmark not to be missed. The fledgling US nation's victories on this site are what is seen by many a patriot to be the very heart of American independence. Until recently a 300 year old 'Mercer Oak' tree stood in the middle of the battlefield, giving Princeton Township its symbol, after the heroic General Hugh Mercer succumbed to his battle injuries in 1777. Adjacent to this historic site are resplendent forest lands with hiking trails for visitors' enjoyment and use.

Superbly restored and preserved architecture is also a hallmark of Princeton. Georgian homes built in the late 18th Century line many of the downtown streets. The quaint array of boutiques, book shops, and museums nestled among the historical walkways make your visit an authentic stroll back into early confederation days.
