How many universities in the United States can lay claim to having their very own castles on campus? Arcadia University is one of the few that can, giving their Knights mascot a home worthy of medieval royalty. There’s more to this renowned institution than swords and shining armor, though – especially with Philadelphia a quick joust to the south. Choose one of these hotels near Arcadia University – now bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Hampton Inn Philadelphia Willow Grove

Just a few miles east of Arcadia University is the Hampton Inn, right off of Interstate 276. It’s the perfect spot if you’re searching for a hotel near campus, and will get you right back on the road in the morning after a free breakfast. Unsure of how to get to Arcadia, Trenton, or downtown Philly? The staff will point out all of the best attractions around, including Legoland Discovery Center only 20 minutes away.

2. Sheraton Bucks County Langhorne

The staff at Sheraton might not be able to tell you how to get to Sesame Street, but they can point you to Sesame Place theme park, right across the road. Big Bird, Elmo and the rest of the gang are waiting to play with your family when you’re done splashing in the indoor heated pool. After a day of singalongs and compulsive counting with a certain vampire, the kids should be tuckered out enough for you to sneak down for a relaxing dip in the whirlpool.

3. Hilton Garden Inn Philadelphia Ft Washington

Hilton Garden Inn is only 10 minutes from the Grey Towers Castle, so you can scoot around the area in a matter of minutes. While they may not be quite as close to Blankley Field as the dorms are, the suites here are much more spacious, plus they’re private and have room service, and the on-site restaurant can set you up with cheap drinks.

5. Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Willow Grove

You might want to extend your stay at Residence Inn by Marriott when you realize how many golf courses are within driving distance. Imagine your daily routine: coffee in the lobby, email blasting in the business center, a few business meetings on the golf course and cracking open your refrigerator to find it stocked with your favorite beer. It all sounds so perfect, you’ll forget you’re not on vacation.

6. Springhill Suites by Marriott Philadelphia Willow Grove

Staying at Springhill Suites in Willow Grove is a walk in the park, especially if you have a four-legged travel buddy riding beside you. This pet-friendly hotel won’t bat an eye if you swipe a few sausage links for your pooch, and your room also has a kitchenette if your pup prefers to eat at home. A post-meal walk is never a bad idea, and the miles of trails at Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust will give your hound plenty of scents to chase.

7. Sonesta Simply Suites Philadelphia Willow Grove

The full kitchen is ready to whip up whatever palate pleaser they prefer, be it microwavable chicken nuggets or stovetop macaroni and cheese.
