Member Spotlight: Hyatt Regency

New Brunswick

The Hyatt Regency New Brunswick has undergone a complete transformation, elevating the downtown hotel to new heights. A multi-million-dollar renovation project has reimagined all 288 guestrooms, including 14 suites, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.


Every room has undergone a complete transformation, infusing a modern flair of luxury with the comforts of home in mind. Featuring new luxury beds and reimagined bathrooms, guests can enjoy immersive in-room entertainment with 65-inch flat-screen smart TVs, stay connected with intelligent lighting and a variety of connectivity ports, and experience the comfort of new windows and sliding doors, along with personal refrigerators in every room.


The multi-million-dollar investment reflects the hotel's dedication to ensuring guests feel relaxed and at ease, whether on a business trip, vacation or attending one of the many events taking place downtown or at Rutgers University.


"This long-anticipated renovation has been incredibly dynamic," said Kristine Blake, Area Director of Sales, Marketing and Events at Hyatt Regency New Brunswick. "It's a night-and-day transformation. The new guestrooms are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and comfortable.”


Beyond the luxurious guest rooms, the hotel features a variety of amenities including the Glass Woods Tavern restaurant and lounge, open for breakfast and dinner. Guests can stay active at the 24-hour fitness center featuring Peloton bicycles, relax in the indoor pool, or host events in the hotel's 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting spaces.
