PB hotel design editorial

Few American university towns carry their architectural self-consciousness as thoroughly as Princeton, where even a new-build hotel is expected to earn its place on the streetscape. Graduate by Hilton Princeton does exactly that — its red brick facade, dark steel mullioned windows, and zinc-capped dormers on the upper story settle comfortably into the Georgian and Collegiate Gothic register that defines Nassau Street, without tipping into pastiche. Inside, Roman and Williams Guild — the New York studio behind some of the most theatrically assured hotel interiors of the past decade — has constructed an elaborate fantasy of the Ivy League gentleman-scholar. The lobby library rises two stories, its dark-painted millwork shelved floor to ceiling and labeled with the names of Princeton's eating clubs: Cap and Gown, Cottage, Tiger, Colonial. Chesterfield sofas in brown leather anchor the room alongside a geometric terracotta, black, and white tile floor that carries the same pattern through to the bar, where floral-damask wallpaper, a carved Moorish backbar, and globe pendant lights give the space the warmth of a private club circa 1910. Guest rooms maintain the conceit with deep blue grasscloth walls, custom headboards assembled from vintage golf club shafts, navy tartan bed runners, and globe chandeliers in aged brass — a palette that lands somewhere between a Scottish sporting lodge and a Princeton senior common room, which is precisely the point.

"Always walked by this place and so glad we decided to try. The drinks were very well balanced and food was tasty. Loved that they had a lot of vegetarian dishes I could enjoy. Lea was our server and was so kind and welcoming. She went above and beyond to take care of us. Great service & great food!"

"I’ve been joining my mom on her weekly business trips to Princeton over the past three months, and staying at the Graduate by Hilton has become something we genuinely look forward to. The hotel itself is stunning; it feels like a beautiful prewar property, full of timeless elegance while still remaining warm and comfortable. What truly makes the experience memorable, though, is the consistency in service. I especially want to recognize Annabel at the front desk. She creates such a positive first impression and carries that same level of care throughout each stay. She even checks in daily to ensure everything is going well, which is a level of attentiveness you would expect at a Four Seasons. There’s a natural ease and confidence in the way she interacts with guests that makes everything feel effortless. After so many visits, it’s clear that this level of service isn’t occasional; it’s consistent. Annabel brings a level of attentiveness and professionalism that truly sets this hotel apart. She’s a big part of why my mom has become so loyal to this property. We truly wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else."

"We stayed at this hotel several times for business. It’s a beautiful property designed with Princeton history in mind. Rooms are decorated in style of 1918 dorms, which were quite exquisite. But the main gem of the hotel is their staff. We’ve had several situations where the front desk personnel showed the most caring and attentive approach. Just today, Anabel helped us find the perfect room and made sure we have enough space and comfort to rest after our long business days. She had the most positive and attentive attitude and resolved our request in no time. Thank you for ensuring we have the most pleasant stay!"
