Trenton: Convention Facilities

Mercer County typically pools its resources when appealing to conference-givers. Facilities in adjacent communities include the East Windsor Hilton Inn and National Conference Center, the Hyatt Regency-Princeton, and the Henry Chauncy Conference Center in Princeton. Local corporations often rely on their own facilities for business meetings and employee training. Merrill-Lynch, for instance, maintains a 360-room resident training center outside of Trenton, and the National Training Center is located in Highstown. The $54 million Lafayette Yard Marriott Conference Hall includes a 197-room upscale hotel, a conference center with more than 16,000 square feet of meeting space, a grand ballroom, a 120-seat restaurant and lounge, and a 650-stall parking garage. The hotel, which opened in April 2002, displays a variety of fine art that reflects many of the city's historic sites.
