Where Legacy Meets Hospitality

The Heldrich Hotel

Perfectly situated in the city’s cultural core, The Heldrich Hotel invites travelers, business leaders, and locals alike to experience the best of New Brunswick. From elegant guest rooms to sophisticated meeting spaces and local culinary experiences, every detail reflects our commitment to comfort, creativity, and community.

Born from John J. Heldrich’s belief in progress and collaboration, The Heldrich Hotel was envisioned as more than just a hotel — it’s a gathering place for ideas, business, culture, and celebration. Our downtown location makes it a vibrant hub for the arts, education, and events.

The Visionary Behind Our Story

John J. Heldrich

The Heldrich proudly bears the name of John J. Heldrich — a Rutgers University graduate, World War II veteran, and senior executive at Johnson & Johnson. After 41 years of service, Mr. Heldrich left an enduring mark on New Jersey through his dedication to workforce development and civic life. His generous gift to Rutgers in 1997 created the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development — a place devoted to helping people and communities thrive.
