Claridge Atlantic City, hotel in New Jersey, United States
Claridge Atlantic City is a hotel in a tall building in Atlantic City, New Jersey, built to look like the New York skyscrapers of the 1920s. The rooms are large with dark wood furniture and patterned carpets, and the property also has an indoor heated pool, a fitness center, on-site dining, and a rooftop bar overlooking the city.
The building went up in the 1920s and was once one of the tallest structures on the New Jersey shore. The casino that once operated inside closed decades ago, but the building has stayed open as a hotel, keeping much of its original look.
The hotel's name comes from the Claridge family, who were closely tied to Atlantic City's early growth. Old photographs in the lobby show what the building looked like in its early years, giving a sense of how the place has changed over time.
The hotel sits right on the boardwalk, so the beach, restaurants, and shops are all within easy walking distance. A public bus stop is just outside the entrance, and on-site parking is available for those arriving by car.
The building holds a public art gallery and a theater that are open to anyone, not just hotel guests. The theater regularly puts on concerts and live events, so the place draws visitors for reasons beyond just lodging.
