COZY UP AT A CHARMING INN OR B&B
Nothing captures romance quite like a relaxing inn or Victorian bed and breakfast, especially in New Jersey. Whether you prefer an ocean view or an outside adventure, rest assured The Garden State has the top accommodations for you.
Like wine? Visit the Bernards Inn in Somerset County, which features a wine inventory of 1500 labels and 20 well-appointed guest rooms. Can't decide between hiking and hibernating? Enjoy both at the comfy Whistling Swan Inn, conveniently located near 14 miles of marked trails at Allamuchy Mountain State Park. Like romance with a touch of history? Cape May, a National Historic District with nearly 600 Victorian buildings, leads the way to your perfect stay. Look for other amazing inns and B&Bs nestled in seaside towns, including Beach Haven, Spring Lake and Ocean Grove.
There are plenty of thrilling places to stay along the banks of the Delaware River in places like Lambertville, Stockton, Frenchtown and Milford too. These idyllic towns combine R&R with antiquing, boutique shopping and fine dining for exciting days and fun-filled nights.
DISCOVER DIAMOND DESTINATIONS
Winter is also an ideal time to hide away at one of New Jersey's AAA Diamond–rated hotels. Add a little exhilaration to your escape with an overnight at the Borgata in Atlantic City. Or plan a weekend getaway just steps away from dining, nightlife and cultural attractions at the city's W Hotel. For sophisticated amenities close to home, check out The Westminster Hotel in Livingston. And enjoy a mountain escape complete with cascading indoor pool, spa services and scenic views at the Minerals Hotel in Vernon.
