The Thousands

When staying at The Darling it’s important to remember that the hotel is part of a casino. It’s also important to remember that this casino has been put together by Atlantic City heavyweights – and they know their shit.

For example, they know that some people will want to eat lobster in their room at 3am. These people, they can do this. They know that others will be happy with a  cheese plate in the evening, or a bircher museli in the morning. These are on the room service menu too. (Actually, almost every food you can think of is on the room service menu…) Most people, they know, will want to drink. So most rooms have good looking, fully equipped Mad Men-style ‘wet bars’ stocked with Hendrick’s, Grey Goose and other carefully selected spirits.

Some people might like a four handed massage (with complimentary Hamaan). These people can have both of these things at the tasteful and very professional second floor spa. Mental note: even if you are not staying at the hotel it is worth checking out this spa. We don’t claim to be spa experts or anything, but we can claim that the whole experience was exceptional. If you are going to spend crazy money on a spa treatment, spend it here.

Fancy stuff aside, The Darling knows that everyone wants a good night’s sleep. We can attest that there are few better ways to sleep (and get some serious air) than on a 1000 spring mattress. Ok, that sounds pretty fancy too, but – who are we trying to kid – that’s the point. There’s nothing humble about The Darling. It’s big and it’s polished and it’s a little flaunty, but even if you’re not a bazillionaire casino type the staff will make you feel comfortable and the place has everything you need (and everything that you don’t know you need).
