Expanding its footprint across the Greater New York metropolitan area, Crescent Hotels & Resorts announced Thursday that it has assumed management of the Hilton Short Hills, adding the prestigious AAA Four-Diamond property to its growing national portfolio.
Situated on the edge of Essex County, the premier full-service hotel features 314 thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites, alongside more than 21,000 square feet of versatile event space spanning 13 meeting rooms. Among its standout features is a 5,200-square-foot Grand Ballroom characterized by 18-foot ceilings and crystal chandeliers, as well as a tented outdoor pavilion with scenic woodland views that serves as a sought-after destination for weddings and large gatherings.
Positioned directly across from The Mall at Short Hills—home to over 160 luxury retailers including Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s—the property benefits from steady leisure travel demand. Guests also enjoy close proximity to cultural mainstays like the Paper Mill Playhouse, alongside nearby corporate hubs in Morristown and Parsippany, and major pharmaceutical headquarters. Newark Liberty International Airport is located just 13 miles away.
The hotel’s culinary and amenity programming features The Dining Room, which offers daily breakfast and lunch, and The Retreat Bar & Rooftop, an open-air venue complete with fire pit seating and sweeping panoramic views. Additional recreational offerings include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, a modern fitness center, an executive lounge, and expansive meeting facilities.
Headquartered with robust operations across the United States and Canada, Crescent Hotels & Resorts manages over 120 properties and holds elite approval to operate upper-upscale and luxury hotels under premier brand families including Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG.
The addition of the Hilton Short Hills further strengthens Crescent’s regional presence, pairing its institutional management expertise with one of New Jersey’s most dynamic hospitality and corporate corridors.
