Atlantic City's beach hotels place you directly on the iconic boardwalk, where ocean views and casino excitement are steps away. Properties like Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City offer a prime beachfront location with sea views, an indoor pool, and a lively atmosphere that includes live entertainment and a casino. Bally's Atlantic City Hotel & Casino, a historic resort on the boardwalk, features nine restaurants and an indoor pool, making it a versatile choice for families and couples alike. Budget-conscious travelers can head to Boardwalk Resorts at Atlantic Palace, which offers kitchenette-equipped suites with ocean or city views, plus an outdoor pool and hot tub-all within walking distance of the nightlife district.
For a top-rated experience, Ocean Casino Resort earns a "Very Good" guest score (84) with floor-to-ceiling windows, a spa, and two swimming pools, all overlooking the Atlantic. Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel stands out for its practical location adjacent to the convention center and dog-friendly policy. The Claridge Hotel, a historic boutique property, offers design-forward rooms and a rooftop lounge with happy hour specials. When choosing, consider your priorities: Hard Rock for entertainment, Ocean for luxury spa amenities, or Showboat for family-friendly arcades (the largest on the East Coast). Most properties offer free WiFi, on-site dining, and convenient parking-check current rates to find deals that fit your budget.
