Hotels in Edison, NJ

If planning a trip to the East Coast, make sure you include the hidden gem of Edison, New Jersey. Resting just across from New York City within the New York metropolitan area, this town is a commercial hub and a buzzing spot to explore right outside all the top attractions in the area. As the home of Thomas Edison's industrial research laboratory, from which he conducted his inventions, research, and manufacturing feats, this lab left a lasting mark on the world and, in many ways, shaped the town of Edison. But that’s not all this city is known for. While staying at top hotels and resorts in Edison, you’ll have the chance to explore an array of fascinating landmarks, great public parks (great for children), incredible eateries, elevated cocktail bars, and so much more. History buffs visiting will appreciate the city’s numerous museums and sites dedicated to Thomas Edison.

Looking for a great public park filled with activities and rich history? Head to the city’s 217-acre Roosevelt Park, located east of the city, just outside the best hotels in Edison. The park dates back to 1933 in what was then Raritan Township and remains one of the oldest parks in the area. Come for a picnic or a barbecue, and stay for the incredible views, history, and wealth of park amenities. Take advantage of the park’s multiple sports areas like a tennis court and a basketball court, or enjoy the excellent trails and lake fishing, as well as an ice skating rink and a great outdoor theater. Plus, you can bring the kids along and entice them with the park’s fun children’s playground!

It wouldn’t be a trip to Edison without a tour of the small but mighty Thomas Edison Museum. Here, you’ll find lots to keep you entertained and intrigued. With photographs, memorabilia, and several artifacts and even phonographs, the collection spans over 120 years. Take a guided tour of Edison’s history from friendly and passionate staff, which is included with the purchase of an entry ticket. Note that the last tour starts at 3 pm, so try to get an early start to the day.

Explore downtown and enjoy a relaxing day at one of the local spas in the city just outside Edison hotels. Every trip calls for some downtime, especially in an urban environment, and what better way to enjoy some serious R&R than on a tour du spa? Many of the local spas in town offer various cosmetic and bodywork services, from massages to manicures, facials, and foot reflexology. Enjoy saunas, steam rooms, hot baths, and pools all afternoon long, and leave feeling better than when you arrived.
