The hotel, owned by the Berger Organization affiliate Robert Treat Hotel Inc., has a deal with the Phoenix-based Best Western to become part of that chain. It will continue to operate under its local independent ownership, as do most Best Western properties.

"Best Western International is the largest global hotel brand," says Berger Org. chairman/COO Miles Berger. "This affiliation enables the hotel to retain complete autonomy and its historic identity while being associated with this widely recognized brand."

"We welcome the Robert Treat to our chain," says Mark Williams, VP-North American development for Best Western International. "This hotel offers guests and meeting planners a versatility of choices."

Completed in 1916 and updated and renovated in recent years, the Downtown property is located near the NJ Performing Arts Center, the Prudential Center arena and the Newark Museum.
