The seven best hotels in Atlantic City, the USA’s up-market Blackpool
If you’re planning a trip to New York City, factor in a few days/nights down the coast in Atlantic City, where there are a host of hotels to choose from.
Travel News Blitz recommends staying in a hotel on the famous Boardwalk (as there are other options quite a yomp from the beach).
But each to their own - here’s a round-up of the seven best hotels in Atlantic City.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa: The High Roller’s Paradise
Vibe: Sleek and upscale, with a side of “I just might win big tonight.”
Known for its luxurious rooms, top-notch dining (hello, Wolfgang Puck), and a casino that feels straight out of a James Bond movie.
Don’t miss the spa - it’s the perfect spot to unwind after losing $20 at the penny slots.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino: Rock Out While You Cash Out
Vibe: Glitz, glam, and guitars.
This hotel is all about music memorabilia and a party atmosphere, with live performances and a buzzing casino floor.
Try not to embarrass yourself by air-guitaring in the lobby.
Ocean Casino Resort: Ocean Views and Vegas Vibes
Vibe: Modern, sleek, and Instagram-worthy.
It’s perched right on the Boardwalk, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering jaw-dropping ocean views.
Their pools and rooftop bar will make you feel like royalty - even if you’re on a budget vacation.

Caesars Atlantic City: A Taste of Rome by the Shore
Vibe: Ancient Rome meets modern decadence.
From grand columns to luxurious rooms, Caesars makes you feel like a Caesar (minus the whole toga thing).
The connected Pier Shops are perfect for some retail therapy if the casino wasn’t kind to your wallet.
Tropicana Atlantic City: A Non-Stop Fiesta
Vibe: Fun, flashy, and full of energy.
Tropicana is like its own little city, with over 20 restaurants, IMAX movies, and nightlife galore.
If you love salsa dancing or live entertainment, the Havana Tower will steal your heart - and maybe your sleep schedule.
Harrah’s Resort: Marina District Chill
Vibe: Classy, with a splash of party vibes.
Located in the Marina District, it’s a bit more tucked away than Boardwalk hotels, but its indoor pool party scene makes it worth the trip.
The Waterfront Buffet is a must for anyone who considers eating a sport.
The Claridge - A Radisson Hotel: Old-School Charm
Vibe: A classy throwback to Atlantic City’s golden days.
Dubbed the "Skyscraper by the Sea," this historic gem has an art deco charm you won’t find elsewhere.
Pro tip: Check out the rooftop bar for sunset cocktails and epic views - no gambling required.
Bonus Tip: If you’re more about luxury than luck, many of these hotels offer spas, pools, and fine dining that are worth the visit even if you never step foot on the casino floor.
Summary
Atlantic City’s hotels aren’t just places to crash - they’re part of the adventure.
Whether you’re looking for ocean views, nightlife, or just a comfy bed after a long day, there’s a spot for you.
