Long-delayed Hoboken Hilton appears to finally be getting closer to reality

A Hilton hotel in Hoboken — first proposed in 2017 — appears to finally be close to reality after the city council seemingly cleared the last hurdle during a meeting earlier this month.

The 20-story, 349-room hotel, which will be located on waterfront property behind the Frank Sinatra Post Office, has been held up by numerous issues and lawsuits — not to mention the pandemic. The city council, on July 7, overcame the last hurdle, approving a lease agreement regarding a post office parking lot on the proposed site of the hotel.
