Fodor's Expert Review Revel Resort
500 Boardwalk, Cape May, New Jersey, 08401, USA
The tallest building in Atlantic City and home to the newest casino, the shimmering 47-story hotel and resort challenges the Borgata as the swankest reservation around. Floor-to-ceiling windows give every room an ocean backdrop and the decor is elegant and understated, with muted tones and polished dark walnut. Celebrity chefs man the restaurants, while pools with private cabanas and a fully serviced beach anchor the summertime social scenes. For an even more relaxed morning and afternoon, there's a 32,000-square-foot grotto-like spa and the tranquil Sky Garden, an elevated landscape of greenery and gentle streams where you can sit and read, chat, or watch the surf.
