Tropicana Entertainment Inc. announced that its subsidiary, Tropicana Atlantic City Corp., has acquired The Chelsea Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J. Tropicana plans to integrate The Chelsea Hotel, which is located directly across Morris Ave. from Tropicana Atlantic City, into Tropicana Atlantic City's existing operations as "The Chelsea Tower at Tropicana Atlantic City,” and expects to open The Chelsea Tower in August 2017.
The hotel is not a part of the PILOT program, and is subject to local property taxation.
"We are pleased with this acquisition and the opportunity to offer our guests more hotel room options on [the boardwalk]," said Tony Rodio, the Tropicana’s president and CEO. "The Chelsea Tower is a great addition to our four existing hotel towers at Tropicana Atlantic City.
