The Madison Hotel is located in Atlantic City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. It was built in 1929 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1984.[4]
The 14-story building opened as a luxury hotel at the beginning of the Great Depression in the United States. It went through bankruptcy in the 1960s and later became part of Sands Atlantic City.[5][6][7]
In 2004, Sands invested $7 million to renovate and reconfigure the property into 126 suites. In 2006, both the Sands and the Madison Hotel were closed.[7][8]
On May 25, 2013, the Madison Hotel was auctioned with a winning bid of $4 million by Eli Hadad, an owner of hotels in Florida and the Dominican Republic.[7] However, the purchase was not completed and the property was again offered for sale.[9] In November 2013, the hotel was purchased by Ratan Hotel Group for $2.5 million.[10]
On January 25, 2014 it reopened as Baymont Inn & Suites Atlantic City Madison Hotel, managed by the Baymont Inn & Suites chain.[10]
