Suites & Residences

A hundred and seventy rooms,
one county palatine.

Every suite at Thehartwellhotel sits above the casino floor within the old city walls — so a night at the tables ends with cathedral bells, not a taxi.

A great casino hotel is judged by how easily you can stop. At Thehartwellhotel, the casino and the rooms share one riverside building: play blackjack, roulette or a hand at the Bailey Room, then climb a few floors to a suite with the cathedral at the glass.

The 170 suites run from an Owengate Room to the corner Palatine Suite, each dressed for calm above a grand city. Below them, the casino floor, six kitchens and a riverside spa mean a two-night stay can hold as much play — or as much rest — as you like.

The Stay

Made for the
long weekend.

A riverside spa, a cognac lounge, six kitchens and a casino floor that never rushes you — everything at Thehartwellhotel is arranged so a two-night stay feels like a proper county escape, with the tables always a stair away.

Rates are illustrative of a five-star resort-casino concept; Thehartwellhotel is a fictional resort, so no bookings are taken on this site and no real-money play happens online.
