Caesars Entertainment-operated Tropicana Atlantic City in New Jersey has announced plans to reimagine and rebrand its hotel tower, with work set to begin later this year.
The renamed Solana Tower in the resort’s west wing will feature 604 renovated rooms and suites. Tropicana said it will draw inspiration from its “Palm Walk,” where grand palm trees are placed around its casino floor.
Initial renderings reflect this, with the rooms shown to feature tropical patterns and bold accents. Curated artwork will also be installed throughout the new-look tower.
Work is scheduled to begin in September and could complete as soon as January 2026. Tropicana expects to begin taking bookings from this fall.
Caesars Celebrates ‘Vintage’ Atlantic City
Joe Giunta, senior vice president and general manager for Tropicana, welcomed the revamp. Giunta said the all-new Solana Tower will offer guests an “elevated hospitality experience.”
“Bright, breezy and brimming with character, these room enhancements blend playful coastal charm with a nod to vintage Atlantic City,” Giunta said. “The new rooms offer a vibrant, welcoming escape that’s as fun as it is approachable.”
Tropicana Atlantic City can trace its history back to 1919. The first building to stand on the site was the Ambassador Hotel, which was open from 1919 to 1977. Ramada purchased the building in 1978 and ran The Phoenix until 1980.
After also acquiring the Tropicana Resort & Casino in Las Vegas in 1979, Ramada elected to rebrand the New Jersey location as Tropicana Atlantic City. The location was briefly renamed as TropWorld Resort between 1988 and 1995, but then switched back to Tropicana Atlantic City in 1996.
The venue is the largest resort casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. In total, it has almost 2,400 hotel rooms and around 30 restaurants and 30 shops. Its casino features 3,000 slot machines and a range of table games.
