MCLEAN, VA.—Northern New Jersey’s newest Hilton Hotels & Resorts property, the 427-guestroom 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, was previously a Sheraton. The greenest highlight of the Hilton hotel is its 1.1-megawatt solar photovoltaic installation on its carport. The solar panels are expected to generate 20 percent of the property’s energy.
Other green programs include composting of organic waste, meeting space recycling, food donations, elimination of Styrofoam, and energy-efficient digital signage. The hotel participates in Clean the World, a nonprofit, 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.
Offering 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.
Now Nine Hiltons in New Jersey
“We are thrilled to welcome Hilton Meadowlands to our portfolio, expanding our presence in New Jersey to nine Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties,” said Rob Palleschi, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. “This hotel offers an ideal location just outside Manhattan and nearby attractions along with the updated amenities and services our guests want and have come to expect from our brand.”
“Feedback from our guests about the Hilton brand and its highly popular Hilton HHonors guest loyalty program made the decision to become a Hilton an easy one,” said Joseph Bojanowski, president of PM Hospitality Strategies (PMHS), operators of the property. “The hotel is in outstanding physical condition, having completed a stunning make-over, upgrading nearly one-half of the guestrooms, the lobby and hallways. The remaining rooms and meeting space are scheduled to begin renovation later next year.”
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.
