Nassau Inn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nassau Inn is an historic hotel located in the heart of downtown Princeton, New Jersey since 1756. The original hotel was located directly on Nassau Street, the main road running through Princeton. In 1937 the new hotel was opened further back on Palmer Square, and the newer Wilson Wing opened in 1985.
Currently the Nassau Inn features 203 guest rooms. There are also 14 banquet and meeting rooms on the first two floors of the hotel that total over 10,000 square feet. The largest of these rooms can accommodate up to 275 people.
The Nassau Inn also hosts weddings in its Prince William Ballroom and Palmer Room. The ballroom can hold 194 guests for dinner and the Palmer Room can accommodate smaller parties of 88 or less.
The Yankee Doodle Tap Room is the hotel's restaurant, and is also open the public. It features a full bar and an American Grill menu. The restaurant was named for the famous 13-foot mural painted by Norman Rockwell that currently hangs behind the bar.
[edit] Nassau Inn History
The original Inn dates back to 1756, when Judge Thomas Leonard built a home at 52 Nassau Street. When he died in 1769, the house was turned into a hotel called "The Sign of the College."
In 1932, the old building was torn down as Edgar Palmer began developing Palmer Square. The new Nassau Inn reopened in 1937 with 42 guest rooms. In the 1960's, the Inn expanded to 119 rooms.
The last major renovation was done in 1985 and the total number of rooms was expanded to 203.
