Get Away From It All At This Boutique Hotel With Its Own Gourmet Restaurant In New Jersey

Princeton is definitely one of the best small towns in New Jersey if you're looking to spend a day trip - but it might take more than one day to fully experience this slice of New Jersey history. The good news is, the hotels in Princeton are just as spectacular as the other sights and attractions. Just one example is the Peacock Inn, a historic boutique hotel that many call the best hotel in Princeton, NJ. It dates back to the year 1779 when it was founded by a member of the Continental Congress. It moved to its current location on Bayard Street - just minutes away from Princeton's storied downtown - in the year 1875, and opened in its current form in 1911. It's been delivering hospitality ever since, and it's also home to one of the best restaurants in all of Princeton.
