Enjoy More of Manhattan -- With Suburban Hotels Near Prudential Center, Newark

NEWARK, NJ--(Marketwire - Feb 29, 2012) - From Central Park and the South Street Seaport to Fifth Avenue and Radio City Music Hall, the lure of New York City is hard to resist, whether traveling for business or pleasure. With well over 50 million visitors a year, the Manhattan hotel market is thriving -- but on the small island, there are only so many rooms to be had. For guests willing to stay in city's other four boroughs' hotels, or across the river in hotels near Liberty State Park, New Jersey, they can enjoy 4- and 5-star accommodations at as little as half the cost.

Recently, a number of suburban and outer-borough hotels have started to offer new, lower-stress alternatives -- with considerable savings. From exciting new properties in The Bronx and Brooklyn to Elizabeth, NJ hotel deals, these hotels -- like the Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel -- offer all the conveniences and qualities travelers expect -- just a short distance from Manhattan. With closer proximity to Newark, LaGuardia, and Kennedy airports, and conveniently located rapid transit options, these "outlier" hotels are making much more sense for travelers. The Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), for example, with Continental is the leading carrier to NY and NJ.

Meeting and event planners are also seeing the benefits of these suburban properties, with ample room for parking and events. In addition, many suburban properties offer an ideal "base camp" for business before guests head out for a night in the big city. The Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel offers 16 separate meeting rooms with over 17,000 sq. ft. of total meeting space.

Unique among nearby airport hotels, Newark's Renaissance hotel boasts a recent multi-million dollar renovation, a convenient location and free EWR airport shuttle.
