Ocean Resort Casino, set to open this summer, will join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, the brand’s portfolio of distinctive independent hotels. As the collection’s eighth North American property, Ocean Resort Casino features 1,399 guestrooms and spans 20 acres of amenities and guest experiences. At 60 stories tall, it stands as the tallest building in Atlantic City.
David Tarr, senior vice president of development, Americas, Hyatt, said the affiliation marks an important milestone: “We are excited to be affiliating Ocean Resort Casino with The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, and to be introducing Hyatt to Atlantic City, one of the nation’s most visited resort and casino destinations. AC Ocean Walk’s spectacular resort will establish a new standard on Atlantic City’s storied Boardwalk, making it a fitting addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt portfolio.”
Bruce Deifik, chairman of AC Ocean Walk, the company that owns Ocean Resort Casino, echoed that enthusiasm: “It is an honor for us to join forces with one of the world’s most renowned hotel brands: Hyatt. Hyatt has an incredible 60‑plus‑year legacy in the industry, and its loyal global customer base will have access to an authentic way to experience all that makes Atlantic City attractive and popular. We are thrilled and proud to be joining The Unbound Collection by Hyatt portfolio as we prepare for the resort’s opening this summer.”
The resort occupies 6.4 million square feet and offers a wide range of luxury amenities. Highlights include a 138,000‑square‑foot casino, 250,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and five pools—one of which is a salt‑water pool—plus an extensive sun deck and a lineup of world‑class dining options. Hyatt will introduce its exhale fitness and spa brand to the property, with a 32,000‑square‑foot facility that includes 32 treatment rooms, a mind‑body studio and a boutique. This marks the first exhale spa to open within a Hyatt‑branded property.
Deifik also noted the care put into the resort’s design and details: “The unique value Ocean Resort Casino brings to Atlantic City is the overall attention to detail and investment made in its design, fixtures and features, which will be optimized as we develop the overall guest experience. The resort’s prime location on Atlantic City’s famed boardwalk will offer guests the best of this vibrant destination.”
