Big-city amenities in a small-city setting
Situated on the eastern edge of the Virginia Peninsula and just a short drive to Virginia Beach and the Historic Triangle, Newport News is an ideal meeting location. Our full-service hotels can easily accommodate small to mid-size conferences, meetings and reunions, while our special venues will take your meeting out of the ordinary. Our “hi-tech” hometown is headquarters for more than 20 international firms and two national laboratories and offers excellent transportation access via car, train and plane.
Newport News also offers a fun and rewarding pre- or post-meeting experience. Our nationally-known museums celebrate nature, the sea and our nation’s military heritage and our 8,000-acre park is perfect for teambuilding. A lively entertainment calendar and hundreds of shopping and dining choices, including specialty stores and chef-owned restaurants, complete the picture.
