The Claridge Hotel
The Claridge Hotel is a 24-story building in Atlantic City with a tall, slender form. It contains 400 rooms decorated with classical furnishings and modern conveniences such as free Wi-Fi throughout and a heated indoor pool available year-round.
The hotel was built in 1930 during the Great Depression and earned the nickname 'The Skyscraper By The Sea' for its distinctive height. In 1979 a casino was added, later operated by Bally's, before the property was returned to a standalone hotel without gambling in 2014.
The name reflects the building's classical design heritage. Visitors today notice how it functions as a gathering place for those interested in the city's past and its connection to the Boardwalk experience.
The hotel sits steps from the Atlantic City Boardwalk and is walking distance to many attractions. Valet parking is available to simplify parking logistics, while the layout is easy to navigate and staff readily share tips about nearby points of interest.
Since summer 2023 the hotel houses the first cannabis dispensary and lounge in New Jersey where visitors can legally purchase and consume marijuana. This makes it an unexpected destination for those exploring Atlantic City's entertainment offerings with new recreational options.
