A new boutique hotel inspired by Monopoly will break ground in Atlantic City in 2025, paying homage to the iconic board game's original location. RMS Capital, a New Jersey-based developer, announced plans for "The Top Hat at The Orange Loop," featuring design elements from the classic game.

The three-story structure will showcase distinctive Monopoly features, including a top hat crown and a protruding racecar on its façade. The boutique hotel will house six bedrooms and 1,400 square feet of retail space on the ground floor.

Located on Tennessee Avenue within the Orange Loop district, the hotel joins a vibrant neighborhood featuring restaurants, entertainment venues, and various local businesses. While not including a casino, the property aims to diversify Atlantic City's tourism offerings.

Mark Callazzo, RMS Capital's managing partner, describes the project as "a game changer for Atlantic City" and "a symbol of Atlantic City's resilience and innovation."

The hotel's location holds historical significance, as Atlantic City's streets provided names for 21 of the 22 properties on the original Monopoly board, first published in 1935. The game's creation is linked to local Quakers, including Charles Darrow, who designed his version using Atlantic City street names.

The project represents a unique blend of gaming history and modern hospitality, offering visitors an immersive experience in the birthplace of the world-famous board game.
