3 Best Hotels in New Jersey Shore, New Jersey

The modern, 32-story, all-suites condo hotel across from the Boardwalk offers respite from the casino action and faces the island of Brigantine and the Absecon Inlet. There's an indoor pool, a small movie theater on site, and an arcade and "FunZone" for cold or rainy days. Each suite has a kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, microwave, stovetop, dishes, and cutlery, as well as a private balcony (some with Boardwalk and water views).

Atlantic City may not have the glitz and glam of Vegas, but this property certainly makes you feel like you’re at a Vegas party where everyone came to have a good time while surrounded by priceless rock memorabilia and amazing works of art (look up as you're riding the escalator). The casino features more than 2,000 slot machines and 130 table games, plus there are four fine-dining restaurants onsite---Il Mulino New York, Sandpiper Coastal Bar & Grill, Council Oaks Steaks & Seafood, and Kuro---as well as the classic Hard Rock Cafe and a branch of South Jersey’s favorite sandwich shop, White House Subs. If you’re into more relaxing activities, there's a pool and sundeck on the South Tower’s 4th level, easy access to Atlantic City Beach (with drinks available at the Beach Bar), and the must-visit Rock Spa & Salon. 

The shimmering 47-story hotel and resort, the tallest in Atlantic City, challenges the Borgata as the swankest reservation around. Floor-to-ceiling windows give every room an ocean backdrop and the decor is elegant and understated, with muted tones and polished dark walnut. More than 15 restaurants, including the steakhouse American Cut, Jose Garces' Amada, and the Italian-focused Dolce Mare, provide something for every tastebud, and the city's newest casino has nearly 2,000 slot machines, more than 125 table games, and the Gallery Bar, Book & Games with 140 feet of LED walls that line the venue and plenty of space to watch all the sports you want. Pools with private cabanas and a fully serviced beach anchor the summertime social scenes. Guests can relax at the 40,000-square-foot Exhale Spa + Bathhouse or have some fun at the HQ2 Nightclub or Topgolf Swing Suite.
