Newark’s Most Famous Hotel

Newark’s Robert Treat Hotel opened in 1916, becoming Newark’s first luxury hotel.

The Robert Treat – with its 14 floors, health club privileges and guest lounge – is named after the man to whom Newark owes its British territorial status – Robert Treat.

Robert Treat was born in England in 1622 and arrived in Massachusetts eight years later.

In 1666 Robert Treat established a new territory for Great Britain, Pesayak Towne.

Pesayak Towne would go on to become New Milford. New Milford would go on to become Newark.

Newark was New Jersey’s third settlement, established by the man whose name adorns 50 Park Place in Downtown Newark.
