A New Lease of Life for Parx Casino: The Hotel Project
Bensalem, Pennsylvania grants permission for Parx Casino to construct a high-end hotel.
After a long wait, the Parx Casino Hotel project has finally received the green light from Bensalem Township Council. The anticipated hotel, located on Street Road in Bensalem, is now ready for a groundbreaking sometime later this year, with an expected completion date in 2025.
A Luxurious Stay at Parx Casino Hotel
The 13-story hotel, boasting 11 floors of guest space, will bring 300 cozy rooms to the table. Attaching directly to the existing casino, a new walkway will ensure seamless access for guests. The hotel's lobby will house an eatery, while the rooftop will feature a restaurant seating 300 guests, complete with a show kitchen.
The restaurant will play host to visiting chefs and their special presentations, while the rooftop space will showcase a presidential suite and four high-end suites with incredible views of Philadelphia's skyline. Other amenities will include a coffee shop, spa, and fitness center.
Notably, the hotel will float under the banner of Parx Casino Hotel and not any prominent brand.Similarly, each restaurant will be an in-house affair, with no external brands featured.
Parx Casino Hotel: More Than Just a Gaming Hub
The new hotel won't be competing with the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia for major events like automobile and flower shows. Instead, it will cater to local and regional gatherings.
Sensorily, the hotel won't adhere to age restrictions like the casino, allowing it to market to youth groups and family-friendly organizations.
While the Parx Casino Hotel project has generated a wave of excitement, the existing Parx Casino has already been a regional magnet for years. In January 2023, it generated $55.46 million in revenues - a significant increase from the $51.81 million earned in January 2022.
ГАМБЛИNG IN PENNSYLVANIA: A PIECE OF THE ACTIONWith gaming revenue in Pennsylvania amounting to $5.21 billion in 2022 (compared to $4.73 billion in 2021), Parx Casino makes a notable impact. It is the third-highest revenue-generating casino in the state.
Besides its financial contributions, the casino also supports the local community. Parx Casino's revenue funds Bensalem's $300 Home Assistance Grant, which Bensalem Mayor Joe DiGirolamo confirmed would continue in 2023. Adding to this, Parx employs roughly 2,000 workers, cementing its status as a leader in job creation within Bucks County.
