The Madison Hotel is a famous building in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was built in 1929. This hotel is so important that it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1984. This means it is a special place worth protecting.
History of the Madison Hotel
The Madison Hotel is a tall building with 14 floors. It first opened as a fancy hotel in 1929. This was right when a tough economic time called the Great Depression in the United States began.
Changes Over the Years
In the 1960s, the hotel faced financial problems. Later, it became connected with another big hotel, Sands Atlantic City.
In 2004, the Sands company spent $7 million to make the Madison Hotel even better. They changed many rooms into larger suites. However, in 2006, both the Sands and the Madison Hotel had to close their doors.
New Owners and Reopening
On May 25, 2013, the Madison Hotel was put up for sale. A hotel owner named Eli Hadad offered $4 million to buy it. But the sale did not go through.
So, the hotel was offered for sale again. In November 2013, the Ratan Hotel Group bought the Madison Hotel for $2.5 million.
The hotel reopened on January 25, 2014. It is now known as the Baymont Inn & Suites Atlantic City Madison Hotel. It is managed by the Baymont Inn & Suites hotel chain.
