On the street side, running parallel to the river, hotel guests will enjoy one of Philly’s hottest neighborhoods - Fishtown. Unobstructed views of the Delaware River extend well beyond the Pennsylvania and New Jersey shorelines past the Ben Franklin Bridge. Several apartment-style suites feature patios or bi-level lofts, with sleeping rooms upstairs and living room and kitchen below. One-, two- and three-bedroom accommodations are available. Guest suites are cavernous by hotel standards, averaging 854 square feet each, with even larger options up to 2,266 square feet. The casino could be accepting reservations as early as this fall.
The upscale hotel will occupy four dedicated floors of The Battery’s existing adaptive reuse complex, creating a rarity for Philly - a waterfront hotel. The new casino hotel will be called “Riversuites,” and it promises a high-end experience. The casino announced today that it will open a 62-suite boutique luxury hotel inside The Battery, the mixed-use lifestyle campus underway on Beach Street in Fishtown. PHILADELPHIA-( BUSINESS WIRE)-Rivers Casino Philadelphia is “powering up” its hotel plans.
