Where to stay in Cherry Hill
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Cherry Hill Mall sets the geography of a stay. Hotels here cluster along the commercial strips rather than any old centre, and a room near the mall puts the township's shops, the highway junctions, and the run into Philadelphia all within a short drive. Cars matter more than pavements.
Cherry Hill was built through the suburban decades of the twentieth century, so the township spreads wide and most visitors arrive with a vehicle and use it for everything. Rooms sit within the Philadelphia metropolitan area, so a stay in Cherry Hill also serves anyone with business on either side of the Delaware Valley. Haddonfield offers the other kind of night.
The older borough beside Cherry Hill keeps the Historical Society of Haddonfield and the Haddon Fortnightly Club House, and a night there trades the commercial strip for older streets. Collingswood lies the same distance away, where the Hopkins-Burr House stands among the streets of another Camden County borough. Philadelphia is the bigger alternative.
Anyone here for the city rather than the suburb can base across the Delaware Valley in Philadelphia and drive out to Cherry Hill for the mall, the Colestown Cemetery gatehouse, or the fossil ground.
About Cherry Hill

What is Cherry Hill known for?
The Cherry Hill Mall made the township one of the main commercial centres of the Delaware Valley, and the shopping trade still defines how the place is used by the surrounding towns. A fossil bed is the other claim. The Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site sits among the old houses on the township's edge, a fossil ground that gives the suburb an older story than its shopping streets suggest.
Colonial houses survive between the highways, among them the Samuel Mickle House and the Gatehouse at Colestown Cemetery.
What are the main landmarks in Cherry Hill?
A fossil bed outranks the buildings. The Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site preserves the dig ground where the fossil that named it was recovered, the oldest attraction in this corner of Camden County. Old houses account for most of the rest, among them the Samuel Mickle House, the Hopkins-Elkinton House, the Arthur Dorrance House, and Centennial House.
The Gatehouse at Colestown Cemetery still stands. Trinity Presbyterian Church and the Haddon Fortnightly Club House complete the short list of named buildings around Cherry Hill.
What is the history of Cherry Hill?
The township dates from 1844. Farmland covered this side of Camden County then, carrying little more than crossroads houses, the Samuel Mickle House and the Hopkins-Elkinton House among the survivors of that period. Burials went to Colestown Cemetery, whose gatehouse still marks the old approach.
Nearby Haddonfield already had a village. Its Haddon Fortnightly Club House and the Historical Society of Haddonfield belong to a settled borough that predated anything built along the roads through Cherry Hill. Suburbanisation changed everything in the middle of the twentieth century.
Housing spread across the township as Philadelphia pushed its metropolitan area over the Delaware Valley, and Cherry Hill turned from farmland into one of the commercial centres of South Jersey. The Cherry Hill Mall opened into that growth. Shoppers came from across Camden County and beyond, and the township's trade drew in the surrounding boroughs of Haddonfield and Collingswood without absorbing them.
Older ground kept its place. The Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site, Trinity Presbyterian Church, the Arthur Dorrance House, and Centennial House stayed put through the building, so the township holds its pre-suburban record alongside the shopping streets.
Where is Cherry Hill?
Cherry Hill spreads wide across Camden County. The township lies inland within the Delaware Valley, part of South Jersey and of the Philadelphia metropolitan area, with Haddonfield and Collingswood pressed against its edges. No river or ridge frames it.
Roads and the commercial strips do the framing instead, and the Cherry Hill Mall sits at the middle of a township whose built ground runs to the county line in most directions. Colestown Cemetery breaks the pattern.
What is the climate of Cherry Hill?
The Delaware Valley governs the year here. Cherry Hill sits inside the same temperate band as the rest of South Jersey, far enough from open water that summer heat builds over the built ground and winter arrives without much softening. Four seasons, each distinct.
Philadelphia across the valley shares the pattern, so conditions in the township track the wider metropolitan area rather than anything local to Camden County.
How do you get to Cherry Hill?
Almost everyone drives in. The township grew around its road junctions, and the routes crossing Camden County put Philadelphia, Haddonfield, and Collingswood all within a short run of the Cherry Hill Mall. Traffic runs heaviest toward the shops.
Anyone arriving by air comes through the Philadelphia metropolitan area and finishes the trip on the ground, since Cherry Hill sits within the Delaware Valley rather than at any terminal of its own. South Jersey feeds in from the far side.
