ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — In a major expansion of its conference, dining and event space, the historic Claridge Hotel celebrated the opening of the state-of-the-art Conference Center at the Claridge and introduced the chic new rooftop bar Vüe.
The new conference center added 15,000 square feet of new meeting space, bringing the hotel’s conference space to more than 100,000 square feet. The center includes a 6,400-square-foot room, perfect for general sessions or small trade shows, and four smaller conference rooms and boardrooms. The latest innovations in connectivity include Smart TV, light-emitting diode lighting and outdoor dome cameras.
The new conference center is designed to meet the growing demand for meeting venues in the legendary seaside resort, according to Cem Erenler, vice president of operations and business development for TJM Properties, the Florida hospitality and real-estate company that purchased the Claridge in 2014 and restored the property to its former Art-Deco style.
“Atlantic City is ideal for a conference, social event or wedding,” Erenler said. “It’s easily reached by road, air and rail and within drive distance of several East Coast states. There’s gaming, entertainment, shopping, golf, water sports, family-friendly activities and great dining options.”
Vüe, the rooftop bar and lounge at the Claridge, is now also open to the public and can serve as a venue for private parties. With ocean views, a cosmopolitan menu and a contemporary design, Vüe is a chic new addition to the Claridge’s other popular venues, which include Malcolm’s, the Twenties Restaurant, the Celebrity Lounge, and the Beer and Wine Garden in Bryant Park.
The Claridge is celebrating the new facilities with a value-added comprehensive meeting package priced at $199 per person. Available Sunday through Thursday, the package includes luxury guest rooms; complimentary coffee; the services of a professional banquet manager; continental breakfast and lunch in the meeting room; morning and afternoon coffee breaks; audiovisual services in the prime conference room with an LCD screen and a mic; pool access; parking; all food-and-beverage taxes and gratuities; and all room taxes and fees.
