The Knox Hotel once served hundreds, even thousands of passangers from Princeton’s local train depot.

Then it sat empty for decades…

In April, 2021, Dane and Kelsey Stier purchased the historic building with a goal of restoring the upper floors as a hotel. With the support of local donors and investors, the couple began gutting the existing rooms and installing new utilities. By the following April, they re-opened several rooms, and started hosting guests once again.

As they continue to work through new phases of renovation, the restored Knox Hotel will eventually offer 13 guest rooms and a mid-sized ballroom.
