In the world of corporate travel, efficiency is the only currency that matters. When your itinerary is packed with high-stakes meetings at Nokia Bell Labs or global pharmaceutical headquarters, the last thing you need is a logistical headache. The Hub Murray Hill has established itself as the premier “Innovation Basecamp” for Northern New Jersey, offering a seamless blend of boutique comfort and high-performance business infrastructure.
This guide provides a 1,000-word deep dive into optimizing your next professional stay, from mastering the commute to leveraging on-site executive amenities.
1. The Strategic Location: At the Heart of the Innovation Corridor
Murray Hill isn’t just a quiet New Jersey suburb; it is a global center for research and development. The Hub is strategically positioned to serve the “Innovation Corridor,” a stretch of Northern New Jersey that houses some of the world’s most influential companies.
Proximity to Key Corporate Hubs
- Nokia Bell Labs: Located less than a 2-minute drive away, The Hub is the primary choice for visiting researchers and executives.
- Pharmaceutical Giants: We are within a 15-minute radius of major campuses for Celgene (Bristol Myers Squibb), Merck, and GSK.
- Financial & Tech Services: Major offices for Accenture and Summit Health are within walking distance or a very short shuttle ride.
Transit Efficiency: Newark (EWR) and Beyond
Time is money. The Hub is located approximately 12 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). In standard traffic, a rideshare can get you from your gate to our lobby in under 25 minutes. For those traveling into Manhattan for secondary meetings, the Murray Hill Train Station (Gladstone Branch) is just blocks away, providing a direct line to Hoboken and New York Penn Station.
2. On-Site Business Infrastructure: Beyond the Guest Room
A successful business trip requires more than just a bed; it requires an environment that supports deep work and professional collaboration.
The Monterey & Doty Rooms
For teams traveling together, The Hub offers over 2,500 square feet of flexible meeting space.
- The Monterey Room: Our largest space (1,421 sq. ft.), ideal for seminars or regional training sessions, accommodating up to 150 guests. It features a built-in bar area for post-meeting networking.
- The Doty Room: A more intimate setting (1,078 sq. ft.) perfect for board meetings or strategy sessions.
- The Board Room: Specifically designed for high-level executive meetings of up to 8 people, featuring privacy and integrated A/V tech.
Digital Reliability
In the age of hybrid work, Wi-Fi is a utility as vital as electricity. The Hub provides complimentary high-speed fiber-optic internet throughout the property. Whether you are presenting via Zoom in your suite or downloading large datasets in the lobby, our infrastructure is built to handle the load of the modern digital executive.
3. Executive Accommodations: Your Private Office Away from Home
We believe that a hotel room should function as a secondary office. Our guest rooms are designed with the “Bleisure” (Business + Leisure) traveler in mind.
Productivity-First Design
Each room features a dedicated laptop-friendly workspace with ergonomic lighting and accessible power outlets. We understand that your workday doesn’t always end at 5:00 PM, so we’ve ensured that “burning the midnight oil” is as comfortable as possible.
The Presidential & Executive Suites
For extended stays or those needing extra room to host small informal catch-ups, our suites offer separate living and sleeping areas. Many include kitchenettes and microwaves, allowing you to maintain your dietary routine without relying solely on takeout.
4. Wellness and Productivity: The 24-Hour Advantage
A tired executive is an ineffective one. Maintaining your physical routine is key to mental clarity during a high-pressure trip.
- The 24-Hour Fitness Center: Equipped with professional-grade cardio machines, free weights, and strength training gear, our gym allows you to work out on your own schedule—whether that’s a 5:00 AM cardio session or a late-night lift.
- Sauna & Steam Room: Unique to The Hub, our on-site sauna and steam room offer the perfect way to detox and decompress after a long day of negotiations.
- Premium Sleep Experience: We utilize high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and a curated pillow menu to ensure that your sleep quality is maximized, preparing you for the next day’s challenges.
5. Client Entertainment: Making the Right Impression
Where you take a client for dinner says a lot about your professional taste. Fortunately, Murray Hill and nearby Summit offer world-class options.
- Moe’s Bistro & Bar (On-Site): Perfect for a “soft landing” dinner. It’s sophisticated, the service is impeccable, and the Mediterranean fusion menu is diverse enough to satisfy any palate.
- The Summit Dining Scene: A 10-minute drive takes you to downtown Summit, home to The Roots Steakhouse and Huntley Taverne. These are the “power lunch” spots of Union County, ideal for closing deals in an upscale environment.
