To reimagine and transform the Casino Tower to satisfy guests’ every hospitality and leisure need, Valley Forge Casino Resort engaged the StyerGroup, a Norristown-based design-build firm. From the custom artwork to the dark neutral carpet with subliminal flair to the elegant, textured draperies, the result is an aesthetic that delivers a complete resort experience.
“With so much energy and excitement happening in and around the casino, the rooms themselves are a retreat from activity, making the guest feel comfortable in the environment, yet special,” said Amy Tahtabrounian, principal of the StyerGroup.
The Casino Tower offers sweeping views of Valley Forge National Park’s 3,600 acres of rolling hills and trails, as well as a bird’s eye view of the entertainment and action at Valley Beach Poolside Club.
Seizing an opportunity to make changes during construction to better serve their guests, Valley Forge Casino Resort has also reclaimed underutilized space within the Casino Tower. Internal space in the tower’s core was previously used for storage has been converted to versatile amenity rooms. These rooms can be used as dressing rooms for bridal parties, hospitality space, green rooms for entertainers, or catering space.
“We’ve designed the Casino Tower with urban elegance to be an oasis from the casino,” Galle said. “With this new renovation, the hotel delivers the resort experience our guests deserve and further establishes us as a destination in Montgomery County.”
