MEADOWLANDS, N.J.
Northern New Jersey's newest Hilton Hotels & Resorts property, the 427-guest room Hilton Meadowlands, is now open at Two Meadowlands Plaza in East Rutherford. The property, which recently completed the first phase of a multi-million dollar renovation, will convert from the Sheraton flag.
Offering impressive views of the New York skyline, Hilton Meadowlands is situated across the street from the Meadowlands Complex, New Jersey's sports and entertainment hub; minutes from MetLife Stadium, host to the 2014 Super Bowl; four miles from New York City and 15 minutes from Newark Liberty International Airport.
With 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space, Hilton Meadowlands can accommodate up to 1,000 guests attending meetings or social events in its 11,500-square-foot Diamond Court Ballroom, Northern New Jersey's largest ballroom, and up to 500 people in the 5,200-square-foot Derby Ballroom. Smaller groups can access up to 15 meeting rooms supported by an executive meeting specialist, convention services staff and audio visual production services and equipment. The meeting facilities also feature a 4,100-square-foot International Association of Conference Centers (IACC) certified conference center.
"The layout of our meeting space makes for a comfortable, intimate setting with incredible views," Bojanowski said. "The hotel will be one of the region's largest social event hosts, ranging from weddings to class reunions to bar and bat mitzvahs and other family events."
The hotel features the 130-seat Chairman's Grill, offering American cuisine; The Lounge, featuring light fare; and a Starbucks Café. The amenity-rich property also offers an indoor swimming pool, sauna and whirlpool, fitness room and business center.
Hilton Meadowlands takes the environment seriously. The hotel's recently completed solar carport has a capacity to produce 1.1 megawatts of clean energy annually, providing approximately 20 percent of the property's energy.
Other programs include composting of organic waste, meeting space recycling, food donations, elimination of Styrofoam and energy-efficient digital signing. The hotel participates in Clean the World, a non-profit, global health program that hygienically recycles and donates more than 3.2 million bars of soaps and 1.7 million bottles of shampoos, conditioners and lotions to children around the world.
