55th Reunion Housing



HOTELS for 2016  Reunions


Housing Off Campus

As the University and reunions grow larger, there is increased demand for accommodations. Many of the prime locations off campus now charge $400 and up for one night’s stay, many require a minimum of 2 or 3 nights stay, and some are already sold out. The longer you wait to make your reservation, the fewer options you will find. We suggest you book your 55th reunion accommodations as soon as possible.


There is a shuttle bus from campus to 22 of the nearby hotels along U.S. Route 1, and they are all listed on the Alumni Council website:  https://alumni.princeton.edu/goinback/reunions/2015/travel/ReunionsLodging.pdf They range widely in room price and availability. We have arranged with 6 of them to allocate a limited number of rooms to our classmates and associates at prices ranging from $199 plus tax to $389 plus ( 15% NJ state) tax, which includes breakfast. These hotels, their minimum stay required, if any, nightly rates and phone numbers are listed alphabetically below. Most of them have either non-refundable reservation fees or cancellation charges.


Please note that our hold on these rooms expires on or before April 26, so please book before the expiry dates shown below, to be sure of availability. After those dates, it’s first come, first served while these rooms last.
