Casino Hotels

Four casino hotels in Canada. Each is described as a hotel first, because that is what they mostly are: rooms, restaurants, event space and a spa, with a gaming floor as one facility among them.

Casino Hotels · 01

Montreal Casino & Hotel

Montreal, Canada

The property occupies part of the old Expo 67 island site, and its architecture still carries that world's-fair inheritance — angular, glazed, oriented toward the water and the city skyline beyond. Guests are housed in adjoining hotel accommodation with restaurants, event space and river-facing terraces; the gaming floor is one facility among several rather than the organising principle of a stay. Parc Jean-Drapeau surrounds the whole site, which means the immediate surroundings are parkland and cycling paths rather than downtown traffic.

Fallsview Casino Resort

Niagara Falls, Canada

Fallsview is a large hotel and entertainment complex built into the escarpment above the falls, and the view does most of the work. Rooms on the upper floors look directly across the gorge; a theatre, a spa, a pool level and a long run of restaurants fill out the resort. The gaming floor sits on the lower levels, connected to the hotel by internal walkways so that guests moving between the two never need to go outside — a practical arrangement in a town that spends several months a year under snow.

River Rock Casino Resort

Richmond, Canada

River Rock stands on the Fraser River in Richmond, minutes from Vancouver's airport and on the SkyTrain line into the city, which makes it as much an airport hotel as a resort. There is a marina, a show theatre and a substantial conference floor, plus the restaurants that a property of this size requires. Rooms are contemporary and generously sized. Gaming occupies its own wing; the rest of the building functions as a straightforward full-service hotel.

Casino Rama Resort

Orillia, Canada

Set in cottage country north of Toronto, near Lake Couchiching, Casino Rama is owned by the Chippewas of Rama First Nation and operates as a resort hotel with an entertainment venue at its centre. The concert hall draws touring acts through the year, and the hotel's rhythm follows it — busy on show nights, quiet otherwise. Accommodation, dining, a spa and the gaming floor all sit under one roof, which is the point in a rural setting where the nearest alternatives are some distance away.
