Best Business Hotels in New Jersey

While its name may suggest a more old-fashioned, traditional British atmosphere, the Westminster Hotel in Livingston, New Jersey, is exactly the opposite. The hotel's decor flaunts bright colors, bold patterns and trendy artwork, while guest rooms come equipped with complimentary high-speed wireless internet access, spa-quality bath amenities and minifridges. (However, some visitors warn that the rooms' thin walls can make for a restless night, so light sleepers beware.) Guests appreciate the Westminster's boutique atmosphere as well as on-site perks like the indoor pool and hot tub, and the 24-hour fitness center. The hotel also houses a new steakhouse restaurant, Marble & Moxie, though diners say the eatery still needs to work out a few kinks with the menu, execution and waitstaff to be impressive. However, guests say that the hotel staff here is friendly and room rates are a bargain, so you can enjoy the Westminster without breaking the bank.

A night in the Atlantic City area doesn't have to mean bright lights and smoky casinos; instead, head about 11 miles northwest to the Stockton Seaview Hotel & Golf Club in Galloway, New Jersey. This member of the Dolce Hotels and Resorts family (and the Wyndham Hotel Group) features spacious guest rooms with antique furniture, flat-screen TVs and complimentary wireless internet access. Plus, if you've brought your clubs along, the resort's two golf courses are backed by some impressive coastal vistas. If hitting the links isn't your forte, the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa provides a variety of massages and skin treatments, while the two pools (one indoor and one outdoor) provide an enjoyable setting for some family-friendly fun. No matter how you spend your day, the hotel's Main Dining Room and its more casual Coastal Grille serve up hearty plates of American cuisine that recent visitors say isn't to be missed. However, prepare to pay a pretty penny for all this pampering: Many guests say rooms rates and meals at the on-site eateries can be pricey.

Business travelers will find the Hanover Marriott's 18,850 square feet of meeting space (with 22 meeting rooms) suitable for industry happenings in Morristown, Whippany and other nearby northern New Jersey towns. Meanwhile, travelers of all types appreciate the hotel's 353 rooms and suites for their comfortable, clean feel and plentiful amenities. Accommodations feature pillow-top mattresses, ergonomic work desks, Bath & Body Works products and high-speed internet access (for a fee). Leave the confines of your room to spend time in the gym or indoor pool. And when all that activity stirs up your appetite, visit the well-liked Auld Shebeen Pub. The hotel's Irish pub features traditional Celtic fare for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, stick to the on-site Seeds restaurant that serves American cuisine to get your day started. All those meals – along with the cost of your stay – can translate into free nights for loyalty members of the Marriott Bonvoy program, who can earn and redeem points here. 

Found on the opposite side of Carnegie Lake from downtown Princeton and within minutes of the area's Princeton University, this Westin branch is surrounded by the Forrestal Village shopping center, which puts travelers within walking distance of numerous stores and eateries. However, guests note that you shouldn't overlook the in-house restaurant, Parallel 40, which serves up hearty (albeit slightly pricey) dishes of global cuisine. Meanwhile, travelers describe the guest rooms here as some of the best in the area, praising the signature Heavenly Beds, clean decor, 24-hour room service and the pet-friendly environment. Also, family travelers note that the hotel pool was a big hit with the kids. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
