10 Palmer Square E Princeton, New Jersey 08542
The original property opened in 1756. A member of Historic Hotels of America since 2024.
Built in 1756, the building housing the Nassau Inn gained popularity in Princeton and hosted local Committee of Safety meetings during the American Revolution. Its success continued, becoming integral to Princeton life and mentioned in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise. Revived by Edward Palmer before World War II as part of Palmer Square, it remains a community hub today.
Guests can mingle with community members and students in the inn’s elegant public spaces and the famed Yankee Doodle Tap Room. Comfortable, spacious rooms and suites welcome visitors with luxurious modern amenities and historic décor. The inn is perfectly situated within range of the university, museums, shopping and dining as well as other landmarks from the city’s history, including its Revolutionary history.
