7 Lovely Hotels With In-Room Jacuzzi in New Jersey

As Atlantic City continues its comeback as an East Coast entertainment destination, hosting A-list concerts and internationally-renowned DJs nightly, there is no shortage of hotel choices in “America’s Playground.” However, not many have in-room jacuzzi suites, and the few that do are usually in casino hotels.  If you’re not in town for gambling and are hoping for a somewhat quieter stay, check in to Wyndham Skyline Tower.

The apart-hotel tower offers serviced condos, giving you a home away from home, including a full kitchen, for a totally private experience, and nearly all suites include both whirlpool tubs and private balconies. Set back a few blocks from perhaps the world’s most famous boardwalk, you’ll find some peace not too far from the action. Keep in mind that this hotel’s lack of a casino and its resulting family-friendly atmosphere make it a top draw for those traveling with children, but it’s also plenty popular with couples looking for romantic Atlantic City weekends away from the casinos.

Bonus if you are traveling with kids and still looking for some adults-only time with your beloved: There are plenty of amenities to distract younger visitors or hours, including an onsite movie theater, giving you ample time to enjoy your in-room jacuzzi together.

The Atlantis Inn has been an Ocean City fixture for more than 125 years. The city’s grandest Victorian mansion has been expanded through the years to its current impressive size of 10,000 square feet, but the hotel’s 14 suites remain intimate and ideal for escape from the seasonally bustling scene of this popular South Jersey shore town.

Many of the Euro-themed suites include jacuzzis or whirlpools in elegant installations of artisan tile that amplify the romantic indulgence of this boutique stay; but not all, so reserve carefully. Outside, the rounded veranda is an elegant spot for a charming chill, but the mahogany rooftop deck offers more impressive views, revealing the ocean just over a block away.

Pier amusements and boardwalk attractions are only moments from the Inn for those interested, but, for more a more exclusive escape, you can book massages through Atlantis’s onsite spa-service offerings.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion (or even if not!), add a “romance arrival package” to your booking to be greeted with roses, chocolates, and sparkling wine. Round out your elegant stay with a special dinner at nearby Emily’s Ocean Room Restaurant, with upscale fare and an Old World ambiance that complements your hotel.

In the Northern New Jersey town of Stanhope, you’ll want to maximize your moments in the area’s rural beauty, including Lake Musconetcong just minutes from town. Outdoor activity is the main draw here, but the vibe is serene and romantic, not extreme and adventurous.

This is a region of hiking, biking, and fishing, and the turn-of-the-century Whistling Swan Inn, decked in country style with Victorian accents, magnifies the area’s romantic appeal for tranquil getaways. Although there are nine quaint rooms in total, the bed-and-breakfast’s four suites are each equipped with two-person jacuzzis and cozy robes for unwinding by a private fireplace for the full date-night experience.

Take your breakfast from the white wicker furniture on the pillared wrap-around porch overlooking the modest yet elegant grounds, then set out for Spring Valley Equestrian Center about 20 minutes from the B&B. Here, try a casual horseback ride for two along the Appalachian Trail Ridge (inspiring in all seasons); it’s a no-experience-required, low-key outing, but you’ll love being able to relax any tired muscles in your in-room jacuzzi afterward.

Just minutes from the New Jersey/New York border, Alpine Haus is home to eight guest rooms in its historic 19th-century main house, but in-room jacuzzi seekers should head straight for the Carriage House. Here, each of two floors contains a private-entry suite with upgraded amenities that include, of course, jacuzzis; if you’re looking for a two-person jacuzzi, though, you’ll need to skip the ground-floor Buttercup Suite with a single-person tub in favor of the second-floor Violet Suite.

Traditional romantic add-ons like flowers and chocolates can be reserved for extra special nights, but take advantage of Alpine Haus’s proximity to multiple wineries and have a platter of cheese and crackers delivered to complement a new bottle after a day of casual tastings. Sip and snack together by your private fireplace or sample your bottle on the covered porch with both mountain and valley views.

If you’re searching for resort offerings but don’t want to sacrifice the romance of intimate accommodations, Alpine Haus is your spot: Situated near two resorts with seemingly endless activities, you’ll find plenty to do next-door before returning for a tranquil respite at your quiet (and less expensive) B&B.

In Point Pleasant, one of central New Jersey’s popular Ocean County beach destinations, you don’t need to go far from the busy shoreline to find a totally tranquil, romantic escape. Just two blocks inland from the beach, The Tower Cottage offers five rooms and suites in a restored Queen Anne Victorian that presents more than the typical B&B exclusivity: The tower suite is an opulently appointed upgrade that occupies the entire third floor, with a richly decorated, octagonal turret bedroom to satisfy any royal fantasy.

A stay at The Tower Cottage almost guarantees you an in-room jacuzzi or whirlpool, but one room comes without while another is outfitted with a single-person whirlpool, so book carefully if a two-person in-room jacuzzi is exactly what you’re after. If you reserve the Tower Suite, you’ll not only find the two-person tub but a walk-in shower with multi-jets for a full-body in-room spa experience on demand. Dry off in plush robes by the marble fireplace to complete the pampering.

For a special treat that extends the romance of the age, head 20 minutes north along the shore to Day’s Ice Cream, a Victorian-era parlor that has been serving ice cream and milkshakes at the same location since 1876.

Whether your getaway is more geared toward the nightlife of Atlantic City or the more peaceful, natural escape of Brigantine Beach and the wildlife refuge of North Brigantine State Natural Area, Marriott’s Fairway Villas is less than a half hour from all of these.

With fully private rental villas that include full kitchens and all the other conveniences of home, you can leave the excitement of the Jersey Shore behind each day by escaping to your oasis in nearby Galloway. To secure an in-room whirlpool, be sure to book a two-bedroom villa whether or not you need the additional room: Only this category contains the coveted tubs in the master bathroom. Depending on the season, start the morning on the balcony with a hot coffee or end the evening here with a cool sip of wine.

Away from the privacy of your villa, the property is filled with romantic vignettes like a charmingly lit gazebo, arbor-covered garden swings for two, and modern firepits flanked by Adirondack chairs. While all the villas are equipped with kitchens, you can step up your romantic dinner game by searing some steaks on the outdoor barbecue grills and serving them up with a special bottle from nearby Tomasello Winery.

At the Southern tip of New Jersey, Cape May has long been a top beach destination for summer vacation for the area’s more discerning shore crowd, with refined shops, quieter shores, and streets lined with historic Victorians, many of which now house B&Bs.

Among these, The Wilbraham Mansion is a remarkably restored and maintained 1840s showpiece featuring grand gathering rooms on the ground floor and 10 period-decorated bedrooms above. The property also features an enclosed porch for year-round breakfast and tea, and a heated indoor pool romantically enhanced by elegant stained glass windows. You’ll need to reserve Room 9 to experience both the mansion’s history and the modern amenity you’re searching for (the in-room jacuzzi, of course), where you’ll find the tub in its own elevated alcove.

If the suite is booked, or if you prefer a more modern stay with period touches, you can instead book a stay in The Wilbraham Suites, featuring period furniture and décor in a fully modern 2008 addition. Each of these includes a two-person jacuzzi, as well as a gas fireplace.
