After spending five months in our tiny apartment 24/7, Jake and I were in need of some new scenery. We decided on a staycation at the Canopy by Hilton Jersey City. It’s a beautiful new hotel that’s a 15 minute train ride outside of the city.
We had an incredible one night stay that left us feeling energized and rested. The hotel is located in a super cute area that had a lot of things to do – restaurants, parks, ice cream shops, bars, beer gardens, etc. It’s a perfect place to stay while you’re visiting NYC!
When we arrived, we were amazed at just how beautiful the hotel was. It was covered in murals, art, and sculptures. The front desk staff was so sweet and accommodating.
The lounge is absolutely STUNNING. It’s colorful, cozy, and beautiful.
Once we checked in, we were ready for some drinks to kick off our weekend. The Canopy has a cute restaurant/bar with an outdoor terrace (perfect for the time of COVID + outdoor dining)! We each ordered a drink and shared the flatbread. It was absolutely DELICIOUS.
Our room was on the 8th floor and it was so dreamy. We LOVED the big windows because we could people watch (haha). The bed was so comfortable and don’t even get me started on the bathroom! I was OBSESSED.
The room had two barn doors which is such a beautiful touch.
They had a Nespresso machine in the room which was AMAZING! Jake and I had quite a few coffees + teas during our stay.
Since the restaurant is closed during the mornings at the moment, they dropped off some breakfast bars, fruit, and juice for us. I thought that was so sweet!!
Overall experience:
Jake and I had the BEST time during our stay. We were amazed at the hotel’s beauty and were so sad when we had to check out. The restaurant/bar was so delicious and is a perfect happy hour spot. We definitely want to come back for another staycation!!
3 Reasons you should book Canopy Jersey City:
- It’s Instagrammable!
- It’s close to the city but still has a lot of fun things to do on its own.
- Yummy food/drinks available at the hotel bar/restaurant.
