Borgata Launches $107M Renovation of Atlantic City Tower

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has unveiled a $107-million renovation of the Borgata Tower that will redesign all guestrooms, suites, corridors, and its main lobby, The Living Room [1]. Work starts September 13, with rooms returning to inventory floor-by-floor beginning in October as part of an overarching property transformation unfolding through 2027 [1].

What spaces are included in the $107-million Borgata Tower overhaul?

The capital project encompasses all guestrooms and suites, guestroom corridors, elevator lobbies, and the tower's primary entrance space known as The Living Room [1]. According to Hotel Business, the remodel targets these high-volume guest touchpoints while preserving the underlying framework of the building [1]. Corridors and elevator landings will introduce bolder colors, artwork, and graphic wall and floor treatments, including custom carpeting featuring an abstract interpretation of classic Italian mosaic patterns [1]. Meanwhile, The Living Room will keep its existing architecture but receive upgraded furnishings and lightened finishes to brighten the central gathering area [1].

When does construction begin and how will room inventory roll out?

Construction on the Borgata Tower is scheduled to commence on September 13 [1]. Rather than taking down the entire building at once, management will release newly finished rooms and suites back into service on a floor-by-floor schedule starting in October [1]. This phased construction methodology allows the resort to maintain revenue-generating room supply during the remodel [1]. The project forms one phase of a multi-year capital investment program across the Atlantic City resort that will continue to roll out into 2027 [1].

Who is designing the project and what aesthetic concepts guide it?

Avenue Interior Design is serving as the interior designer for the transformation, continuing a longstanding working relationship with the casino resort [1]. The studio previously designed the prior Borgata Tower iteration, executed the remodel of the property's MGM Tower, and directed the transformation of B Bar [1]. For this assignment, the design firm selected a direction inspired by modern Italian design, fine tailoring, and traditional craftsmanship [1]. The accommodation palettes draw from camel and cognac shades, warm wood grains, cream surfaces, deep blue accents, and burnished metal highlights [1].

How will guestroom layouts and materials change?

Guestrooms and suites will feature clean architectural lines paired with residential details designed to introduce a warmer take on the casino's classic aesthetic [1]. Rooms will receive upholstered headboards, custom-built woodwork, integrated metal details, and sculptural furniture selections [1]. Avenue Interior Design structured the lighting schemes and furniture placements specifically to turn attention toward views overlooking Atlantic City [1]. In statements reported by Hotel Business, the design team emphasized tactile details and restrained residential comfort inside the rooms, contrasting with expressive public circulation spaces [1].

How does the tower remodel fit into Borgata's broader business strategy?

The tower renovation serves as the primary component of an ongoing reinvestment plan across the Atlantic City property [1]. Nik Rytterstrom, president and chief operating officer of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, noted that modernizing the tower updates a core guest touchpoint while maintaining the venue's distinctive identity [1]. Hotel Business reported that the wider masterplan across the destination resort will continue bringing updates to the complex into 2027 [1].
