Adorning the lobby and public spaces of the hotel are exceptional original artworks by internationally renowned New Jersey artists, including the entryway’s signature 10 by 20-foot glass installation by J. Kenneth Leap. Such spaces are perfect for contemplation or brainstorming in smaller groups during break-out sessions
