Accommodations & Directions
Accommodations
We have reserved a large block of rooms at the Nassau Inn, which is in downtown Princeton and only a few hundred yards’ walk from our meeting sites on campus. The Inn’s website is www.nassauinn.com, and telephone number is 609-921-7500. Members booking a room should mention the group name “Association of Ancient Historians” to receive the conference rate of $129 per night.
We have also reserved rooms at the less expensive Holiday Inn: www.hiprinceton.com, telephone 609-520-1200. When booking, members should likewise mention the “Association of Ancient Historians” to receive the conference rate of $98 per night. NB: it is not possible to walk from the Holiday Inn, which is a few miles away near Route One, and there is no public transport; members choosing to stay there will be dependent on their own cars or the hotel shuttle.
Members should realize that the Nassau Inn is the only conference hotel in Princeton. Several others are located on the Route One corridor, and while most offer rates comparable to the Inn, staying there will require the use of private transport or dependence on the hotel shuttle.
We have reserved an adequate number of rooms at the Nassau Inn, but space there is always at a premium: we strongly recommend that members make their room reservations as soon as possible.
If you are interested in sharing a hotel room, or if you are a graduate student interested in rooming with a Princeton graduate student, please let Edward Champlin know at champlin@princeton.edu, noting your dates, the accommodation you would prefer, and any other requirements.

Princeton can be reached via four international airports. The two closest and most easily accessed are: Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which is 40 miles north and accessible by New Jersey Transit; and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), which is 55 miles south. The two large airports in New York City (east of Manhattan) take substantially more time to reach by car or public transportation from Princeton (NYC subway followed by New Jersey Transit). They are: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia International Airport (LGA). Car rentals are available at all four airports. For more information and details of the public transportation connections, please see the links at http://www.princeton.edu/main/visiting/travel/airports/ .
Train Service: The campus is also accessible by New Jersey Transit and Amtrak; for schedule information, please see http://www.amtrak.com or http://www.njtransit.com/sf_tr_schedules.shtml and select as the destination "Princeton." NJT trains run between New York Penn. Station and Trenton approximately every hour, and there are also connections to Philadelphia on the SEPTA rail system (http://www.septa.org).
