DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Jersey City

At DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Jersey City, you'll be near all the attractions of central Jersey City--and have all of Manhattan at your fingertips. This all-suite hotel is in the Financial District, just across the street from the Jersey City waterfront. Walk 2 blocks to the PATH station, where the train can whisk you to Lower Manhattan in about 10 minutes. Or shop to your heart's content at the Newport Centre Mall, a 5-minute walk from the DoubleTree. (You'll be happy to know that New Jersey has no sales tax on clothing and shoes.) If you prefer to drive to New York, the Holland Tunnel is within a mile (1.6 kilometers), and Manhattan is about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) east. Interested in visiting the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island? No need to travel to Manhattan. New Jersey's Liberty State Park, 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from the hotel, offers ferry service to both these icons.

At check-in, you'll be greeted with the hotel's signature chocolate-chip cookies. For a more substantial bite, stop by the Harsimus Cove Bar and Grill, named for the inlet of the Hudson River across the street. American favorites are served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Feeling more retiring? Order up room service, available early morning to late night. Just off the lobby, you'll find the business center, which offers printing, high-speed Internet access for a surcharge, and desk space for even the biggest projects. The hotel also offers a fitness center, which you can visit 24 hours a day. Self parking and valet parking are both available for an additional fee.

In your suite, you'll find plenty of space to stretch out. All suites have separate sitting and sleeping areas, plus wet bars with microwaves and refrigerators. You'll sleep in a triple-sheeted bed beneath a down blanket. The flat-screen TV offers cable channels, and a clock radio with an MP3 dock is bedside. Need to check your email? Connect to the wired high-speed Internet access, available for a surcharge.
