New Jersey is a major tourist hub, being only minutes away from New York City and having its own big draws – including the Jersey Shore. You won’t have any trouble finding a place to lay your head, whether you’re looking for a low-cost motel or a luxury resort. However, to find the best hotel in New Jersey, you’ll want to head to the beautiful riverfront town of Red Bank. One of New Jersey’s biggest cultural hubs, it’s also home to the Molly Pitcher Inn – an iconic hotel that has been serving the community since 1928. A boutique hotel known as a culinary destination and elite event venue, it’s just as stunning inside as it is on the outside. Bridging the gap between the impressive size of a traditional hotel and the comfort and unique design of a bed and breakfast, it’s a one-of-a-kind stay in the middle of it all.

The Molly Pitcher Inn is probably the most stately hotel in New Jersey, and things are only getting better as it approaches the century mark.

If you want something lighter - or a late night drink - the International Bar is one of the state’s most elegant pubs. It also frequently plays host to live music on its classic grand piano.
