Rivers Casino Philadelphia has finally opened a hotel, the venue arriving more than 17 years after the company that owns the property told state officials it would offer lodging.<\/p>\n

The Battery, a mixed-use development repurposing a former power plant on the Delaware River, is now home to the Rivers Casino Philadelphia hotel. The facility offers 62 all-suite guest rooms. (Image: The Battery)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week, rivers Casino debuted its Riversuites Hotel at The Battery Philadelphia<\/a>. The 62-room all-suite facility is part of The Battery, a mixed-use complex inside a former power plant along the Delaware River.<\/p>\n

\n

In addition to its 62 guest rooms, the 500,000-square-foot Battery has 171 residential apartments, office space, a lobby bar, an indoor gym, coworking space, a rooftop pool, a library and study, and a golf simulator. An outdoor pier provides private gathering space for residents and tenants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Eric Althaus, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia, says opening a hotel has “always been something we wanted to do.”<\/p>\n

“This gives us another tool to take care of our guests and to bring people to this area that typically don’t come up [northeast of the downtown area],”<\/strong> Althaus added.<\/p>\n

Rivers Casino is owned and operated by Rush Street Gaming, a Chicago-based developer of regional casinos. The 45,000-square-foot casino has more than 1,500 slot machines, 72 table games, and a BetRivers Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

In 2022, the casino won<\/a> $118.4 million on its slots and $98.2 million on its tables. Its oddsmakers won $13.1 million.<\/p>\n

The Riversuites Hotel at The Battery is a short walk from the casino along the Delaware River Trail. Rivers Casino officials say a complimentary shuttle will also transport guests between the facilities who do not wish to make the roughly three-tenths of a mile walk.<\/p>\n

The Riversuites rooms range in size from 850 square feet to nearly 2,300 square feet. Each occupancy comes with a full kitchen, a bedroom with a queen or king bed, a dining area, and a full bathroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rooms can now be booked, with rates starting at $275 a night before taxes and a $25 nightly resort fee.<\/p>\n

Hotel Long Overdue<\/b><\/h2>\n

When Rush Street Gaming applied for its Philly casino<\/a> license in 2006, company reps told the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) that the casino would include a hotel.<\/p>\n

\n

The Battery was developed and is owned by Ira Lubert through his real estate firm Lubert-Adler. Lubert is behind a plan to open a mini-casino in State College<\/a> near Pennsylvania State University at the Nittany Mall. He’s partnered with Bally’s on the project, but a legal challenge<\/a> to the PGCB awarding Lubert the license is ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rush and Lubert-Adler didn’t disclose publicly their financial arrangement.<\/p>\n

Rivers Casino loyalty members participating in Rush Rewards can now use their points for stays at The Battery. Black cardholders qualify for a free night stay. The tier level begins at 25,000 points.<\/p>\n

Rush Rewards credits one point for every $5 bet on slots, $10 on video poker, and $10 in sports bets. Table and electronic game credits are based on average bet and time played and vary by game type.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
