A Skyline Address on the Hudson
The Westin Jersey City Newport sits at 479 Washington Boulevard in Jersey City, NJ 07310, placing the property directly along the waterfront with sightlines across the Hudson River toward Manhattan. Independent descriptions call this area "The 6th Borough" — a nickname that captures how close Jersey City feels to Midtown Manhattan and Wall Street, even when seen from across the water.
Rooms with a View
The hotel features 429 guest rooms, including 19 suites, designed to give the skyline a starring role. Independent descriptions highlight panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, the Hudson River and the Newport Marina, with rooms arranged to help guests feel refreshed rather than rushed.
Meetings and Event Space
Beyond the guest stay, the property is positioned as an event destination. Independent sources note 20,500 square feet of contemporary meeting space, paired with a culinary team whose brief is to "make every moment feel like an upgrade." For groups and social gatherings, the meeting footprint is one of the property's clearest distinguishing numbers.
Dining on the Property
Independent descriptions reference a wide range of dining options at Jersey City Newport, framed around the idea of "elevating the senses." Together with the meeting culinary team, on-site food and beverage is presented as part of the overall experience rather than a separate amenity.
Getting There and Getting Around
The location is anchored to regional transit. Independent sources place the hotel one block from the Pavonia–Newport PATH station, with Newark Light Rail and NJTransit buses also within easy reach, and note convenience toNewark Liberty International Airport. For travelers arriving from the airport or heading into Manhattan, the combination of PATH, light rail and bus connections frames Washington Boulevard as a practical base.
Practical Considerations
Some details — including room counts, dining offerings and transport notes — may evolve over time, so verifying the latest information before planning a visit is a sensible step. The hotel is identified at 479 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07310, in the United States.
Opening Context
The property was announced as an upcoming opening in February 2009 by its then-owner, a joint venture of the LeFrak Organization and Melvin Simon & Associates, with LeFrak also listed as developer. The early positioning — a newly constructed waterfront hotel near the financial district of Jersey City — helps explain the meeting-space scale and the emphasis on skyline views that the property continues to emphasize.
