Hotels in Millburn, New Jersey: Where to Stay
Table of Contents
Where to Stay in Millburn: The Short List
Millburn Township covers several villages, including Millburn, Short Hills and parts of the South Mountain area. Within the township, one full-service hotel stands out. This is the Hilton Short Hills at 41 John F. Kennedy Parkway. A lodging directory we checked, HotelGuides, also notes Millburn has no other hotels of its own and lists the nearest choices in surrounding towns.
So the honest answer to where to stay in Millburn is this. Pick the Hilton Short Hills if you want to sleep inside the township. Pick a hotel in Livingston, Springfield or Summit if you want a different style of stay or a different price level. All of these towns sit in the same part of Essex and Union counties, and the drive between them is short, though we did not time any trip ourselves.
The sections below cover each property. We checked each one against at least two sources, and we mark any single-source listing as unconfirmed.
Hilton Short Hills: The Only Hotel in Millburn Township
The Hilton Short Hills sits at 41 John F. Kennedy Parkway, Short Hills, NJ 07078. The phone number on the official Hilton page is 973-379-0100. Check-in begins at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am, according to Hilton.
Hilton lists indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis, an on-site restaurant, room service, an executive lounge and meeting rooms. The Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Two bars round out the food and drink list, the Patio Bar and Grill and The Retreat Bar and Rooftop, which has a firepit. The hotel is fully non-smoking and does not allow pets. Hilton also lists EV charging and a digital key.
Two details deserve a warning. First, the official Hilton page says self-parking and Wi-Fi carry a charge. One directory we checked, HotelGuides, says parking is free. The two sources disagree, so call the hotel before you rely on free parking. Second, Hilton says no airport shuttle runs to Newark Liberty, which the page puts at 13 miles away.
The hotel is described as an AAA Four Diamond property in its Hilton page metadata, and a Tripadvisor rating of 3.9 from about 1,400 reviews appears on the Hilton page. Ratings change, so read recent reviews before you book.
This hotel suits business travelers, shoppers who want a base near the mall and families who want a pool. The Hilton page lists Summit and City Center at about 1 mile, Morristown at about 3 miles, Greenwood Gardens at 4 miles and Turtle Back Zoo at 5 miles.
Hotels Near Millburn in Livingston and Springfield
If you want other choices, look just outside the township. Two chain and independent hotels come up again and again in the sources we checked. Both are real, open listings with consistent details across more than one source.
One caution applies to every property in this section. Distances and drive times vary with traffic on Route 10, Route 22 and Interstate 78. We quote only the figures from our sources and name each source.
The Westminster Hotel, Livingston
The Westminster Hotel is at 550 West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Livingston, NJ 07039. Expedia lists check-in from 3 pm and check-out at 11 am, with early check-in and late check-out available for a fee when rooms allow.
Expedia lists indoor and outdoor pools, with pool hours from 6 am to 10 pm, free self-parking and free in-room Wi-Fi. A 24-hour front desk, a terrace and garden, conference space, a ballroom and a banquet hall are also listed. The hotel allows dogs under restrictions and with a fee. HotelGuides agrees on the heated indoor pool, the gym, the restaurant, the lounge, free Wi-Fi and free parking.
Expedia says Livingston Mall is a 3 minute drive away. The page also places Turtle Back Zoo and South Mountain Reservation within about 6 miles, and the Mall at Short Hills within about 9 miles. The hotel lists wedding services and banquet space, so ask about event weekends when you call.
Hilton Garden Inn Springfield
The Hilton Garden Inn Springfield is at 304 US Highway 22 West, Springfield, NJ 07081. Hotels.com lists check-in from 3 pm with a minimum check-in age of 21, and check-out at noon. Express check-out is available.
Hotels.com lists an indoor pool, an on-site restaurant, a bar and lounge, free on-site self-parking and free Wi-Fi in rooms and public areas. Pets are allowed with limits, and service animals are welcome. HotelGuides lists the same pool, gym, restaurant, lounge, free Wi-Fi and free parking, and places the hotel about 3.4 miles from Millburn.
We could not open the official Hilton page for this hotel, so confirm current policies, hours and pet rules by phone before you book. This is a practical choice for drivers who want free parking and a pool on a main highway.
Other Motels and Hotels Near Millburn
Travelers often ask about motels in Millburn. We found no motel inside the township. The lodging near Millburn is made up of chain hotels, extended-stay suites and a few independent inns in the towns around Essex County.
HotelGuides lists several more options within a short drive. These include the Debary Inn in Summit, the Kenilworth Inn in Kenilworth, the Hub Murray Hill Hotel in New Providence, and the Courtyard by Marriott and Cambria Hotel in West Orange. We found only one directory for these properties, so treat each as unconfirmed. Check the current status, amenities and policies with the hotel itself before you plan around any of them.
HotelGuides also lists larger hotels farther out, including Archer Hotel Florham Park, Madison Hotel Morristown and several hotels near Newark Airport. If your trip centers on a flight, you may prefer a hotel near the airport instead of one near Millburn.
What an Earlier Version of This Guide Got Wrong
An earlier version of this page named a Baird House Bed and Breakfast and an Inn at Millburn. We could not verify either one operates as lodging in Millburn, so we dropped both. The same version placed the John F. Kennedy National Historic Site in Millburn. The site is in Brookline, Massachusetts, so we removed the mention.
We also removed the old claims about relative prices. Rates change often, and we cannot verify any figure here. If a site shows a rate for any hotel on this page, treat the booking page as the source of truth.
Things to Do Near Your Millburn Hotel
Many guests who look for hotels near attractions in Millburn come for one of three reasons. These are the theater, the shopping and the outdoors.
Paper Mill Playhouse
Paper Mill Playhouse is at 22 Brookside Drive, Millburn, NJ 07041, and the phone number is 973-376-4343. The theater calls itself the place where new American musical theater comes to life, and the Regional Theatre Tony Award is listed on its site. The venue has announced a 2026-27 season, so check the schedule before you pick your dates.
The theater’s own downtown guide says the playhouse is a five minute walk from downtown Millburn shopping and dining. Restaurants listed there include Millburn Standard and MoonShine Modern Supper Club, Fiamma Wood Fired Pizza and Evoo and Lemon on Main Street, and Millburn Diner and Sakura Japanese Restaurant on Essex Street. Hours change, so confirm before you go.
The Mall at Short Hills
The Mall at Short Hills is at 1200 Morris Turnpike in the Short Hills section of Millburn. Wikipedia lists anchors such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Neiman Marcus, and about 1.37 million square feet of space over two floors. Wikipedia places the mall near JFK Parkway, the same road as the Hilton. We could not load the mall’s own site, so check store hours there.
South Mountain Reservation
South Mountain Reservation is a county park of about 2,100 acres between the first and second ridges of the Watchung Mountains. Essex County Parks says the reservation lies in parts of Maplewood, Millburn and West Orange. The park offers hiking trails and carriage roads used for jogging, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. The park page also noted a closure of the Locust Grove parking lot and Fairy Trail from July 6, 2026 through July. Check the county site for current trail status before you visit.
Getting to Millburn Without a Car
Millburn works as a base for a New York trip. NJ Transit runs the Morristown Line and Gladstone Branch through Millburn station at 35 Essex Street and Short Hills station at 225 Chatham Road. Trains run east toward Hoboken and New York Penn Station, according to Wikipedia. Both towns share fare zone 7.
We did not confirm current schedules or trip times, so check the NJ Transit timetable before you plan. Millburn station averaged about 1,235 weekday passengers in 2025, and the Short Hills station averaged 988 in fiscal 2024.
How to Choose Among Hotels in Millburn and Nearby Towns
Start with your reason for the trip. A show at Paper Mill Playhouse points to the Hilton Short Hills or a hotel in Millburn’s neighbor towns. A shopping weekend points to the Hilton, since the mall and the hotel share the same part of Short Hills. A family trip with a car and a need for free parking points to the Westminster Hotel in Livingston or the Hilton Garden Inn in Springfield, both of which sources list with free parking.
Next, check parking and Wi-Fi charges. The Hilton Short Hills lists paid parking and paid Wi-Fi, while the other two hotels list both as free. Ask each hotel what the current policy is.
Then check pet rules. The Hilton Short Hills does not allow pets. The Westminster lists dogs only, and the Hilton Garden Inn lists dogs and cats with a limit. Each hotel sets its own fees and weight limits, so call ahead.
Last, book early around opening nights at the theater and big shopping weekends. We have no rate or availability data to quote, so ask each hotel about busy dates.
What We Checked and What We Could Not
We confirmed the Hilton Short Hills address, phone, check-in and check-out times and amenities on the official Hilton page, and matched the amenities against HotelGuides. We confirmed the Westminster Hotel and the Hilton Garden Inn Springfield on two travel sources each. We confirmed the theater address and phone on the Paper Mill Playhouse site, and the park details on the Essex County Parks site.
We could not load the official Hilton page for the Springfield hotel or the Westminster’s own site. We could not load the Mall at Short Hills site. We have no verified drive times between these hotels and the attractions, so we give none beyond what a named source states. We have not stayed at any of these properties for this update.
