Hotels in Basking Ridge

Wander through Lord Stirling Park's boardwalks where marshland wildlife seems utterly unimpressed by human visitors. The historic Somerset Hills Hotel offers shows worth catching after sampling farm-to-table fare at local eateries that take their produce seriously. Nature enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center, while art lovers can explore the Farmstead Arts Center housed in a lovingly restored 19th-century barn. The town's colonial heritage peeks through at every corner, though locals are more likely to mention it was once AT&T's headquarters. Commuters dash to catch trains on the Gladstone Branch while executives at Barnes & Noble College Booksellers and Verizon Wireless headquarters maintain the town's curious blend of bucolic charm and corporate efficiency.
