The Westin JC Newport
A 4-star beautiful waterfront hotel with views of Manhattan, only 15 minutes away from Manhattan-Midtown.
QCon AI New York 2026 is held at the Westin Jersey City Newport, right on the Hudson River and with a view of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
Manhattan is only minutes away: the Newport PATH station is a 3-minute walk from the hotel. One stop (5 minutes) gets you to the World Trade Center and five stops (15 minutes) to Midtown. And the $3.25 train fare is hard to beat.
The conference and your hotel room are in the same building. No commute between sessions and check-in, and the conversations can continue in the lobby after the last talk.

🚇 PATH train
The Newport PATH station is a 3-minute walk from the hotel. One stop on the World Trade Center line reaches Lower Manhattan in about 5 minutes. Five stops on the 33rd Street line reach Midtown (near the Empire State Building and Herald Square) in about 15 minutes. Trains run 24/7. Pay by contactless card or phone — a single ride is $3.25.
🚊 Light rail
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stops behind the hotel, connecting Hoboken and downtown Jersey City.

Uber, Lyft, and taxis run from all three airports and into Manhattan. A ride to SoHo or downtown takes 12 to 20 minutes through the Holland Tunnel, roughly $25 to $45 including the New York-bound toll. Midtown runs 20 to 45 minutes depending on tunnel traffic.
