Cherry Hill Inn, Mid-century hotel in Cherry Hill, US
Cherry Hill Inn was a mid-century hotel featuring silver service dining and equestrian artwork displayed throughout the lobby areas. The property included a heated swimming pool with guest rooms overlooking the water and substantial kitchen facilities for hosting events.
The inn opened in 1953, marking the start of suburban growth in the region and the shift away from its purely residential past. This opening reflected the broader development wave that transformed the area into a destination for travel and events.
The inn embodied the shift of Cherry Hill from a quiet residential neighborhood into a business hub that grew alongside the nearby racetrack. Its design and services reflected how the community adapted to attract visitors and commerce.
The property had a spacious main dining room alongside separate spaces for smaller gatherings and well-equipped kitchens for handling large groups. Guests could use the grounds and pool for relaxation or to host various types of gatherings.
In 1955, a seventh-generation descendant of Camden's founder William Cooper planted a cherry tree on the grounds, creating a symbolic link between the region's colonial roots and its mid-century transformation. The tree now stands as an unexpected reminder of the property's connection to the area's deeper history.
