New Brunswick is part of the meeting destination area known as Metro New Jersey Meadowlands (of which Newark is also a part). Its popularity is due in part to its proximity to the attractions of Manhattan. Small-meeting planners considering New Brunswick as a destination may choose from facilities at Rutgers University or at a number of hotels and motels in the city. The Rutgers Student/Conference Center provides multi-conference seminar facilities to accommodate up to 550 people, as well as an outdoor plaza for special events. The HyattRegency in New Brunswick offers 288 rooms and suites, as well as 21 meeting rooms that total 28,000 square feet; there is also a 9,600-square-foot ballroom.
