The Claridge stands next to the site where the Sands Atlantic City used to be located. Located between Park Place and Indiana Avenue, with an attached parking structure extending to Ohio Avenue, the Claridge is set off the Boardwalk behind Brighton Park. In February 2014, the property was acquired by TJM Properties of Clearwater, Florida, which returned the property to a stand-alone hotel without casino gambling. The hotel was acquired by Bally's on December 30, 2002, as a hotel tower of Bally's Atlantic City. Beginning in 1981, Claridge's operated for many years as a casino, known first as 'Del Webb's Claridge Hotel and Casino', then as 'Claridge Hotel and Casino'. The Claridge is a historic hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that opened in 1930.
