How this site is made
One inclusion rule, primary sources for every fact, a published score and a plain statement of who pays for it.
The inclusion rule
A hotel is listed when a Gambling Commission-licensed casino floor is in the same building, the same building complex or the same leisure or retail estate. “A short walk through town” does not qualify, however short. The label on each page says which of the three applies, and the “how they connect” section says what the evidence is: the licensed premises address in the public register, a statement on the hotel’s or the complex’s own website, the estate’s listings, or — in two cases — only addresses, photographs and third-party sources.
The rule leaves out well-known floors with hotels nearby but not on site. The table below lists what was checked and why it is not here.
| Venue checked | Why it is not listed |
|---|---|
| The Hippodrome Casino, Leicester Square, London | No hotel in the building. |
| Genting Casino Stratford (Westfield Stratford City), London | No hotel inside the centre building; nearby hotels are separate. |
| Grosvenor Casino Russell Square (Imperial Hotel), London | Listed as permanently closed. |
| Genting Casino Cromwell Road, South Kensington | No hotel identified at 43–45 Cromwell Road. |
| The Sportsman, Empire, The Vic, Rialto, Barracuda, Bayswater, Colony Club, Chinatown (London) | No hotel in the same building found on the operators’ pages or in the register. |
| Trocadero, Piccadilly Circus, London | The Zedwell Piccadilly hotel is in the building and Genting has announced a casino for October 2026. Not open on the check date; to be reviewed once it trades. |
| Grosvenor Casino Northampton, Sol Central (with the ibis hotel) | The casino closed in 2017. |
| Genting Club Star City, Birmingham | Not on Genting’s website on the check date; the Holiday Inn Express describes itself as “a short walk from” Star City, not inside it. |
| Genting Casino Hull, St Stephen’s (same centre as Holiday Inn Express Hull City Centre) | Still on the Gambling Commission premises list but not on Genting’s website on the check date; operating status unconfirmed. |
| Rainbow Casino, Teesside Park | Closed in 2016. |
| Genting Casino Reading, Richfield Avenue | Hotels on the same road are separate buildings, not one estate. |
| Grosvenor Casino Bolton; Genting Casino Stoke; Alea Nottingham; Manchester235; Aspers Milton Keynes and Newcastle | No hotel in the same building, complex or estate found. |
| Isle of Man and the Channel Islands | Crown Dependencies outside Great Britain and the Gambling Act 2005; out of scope. |
| Northern Ireland | Casinos are not permitted under Northern Ireland law; out of scope. |
Where the facts come from
- The Gambling Commission public register for every casino: the licensee, its account number and the address of the licensed premises. The account number on each venue page links to the licensee’s entry in the register.
- The operator’s own venue page for opening hours, live-table hours, games, facilities, entry policy and dress code.
- The hotel’s own website for check-in and check-out times, minimum age, parking and facilities. Where the hotel’s site could not be read by our tools on the check date, room counts come from booking platforms and are marked with an asterisk or the words “booking platforms”.
- Wikipedia and trade press only for history — opening years, architects, rebrands — never for hours or rules.
All facts were checked on 12 September 2026. Hours change on public holidays and for private events, and operators change policies without notice; the venue’s own page or phone number is the final word on the day.
The Suite & Salon score
Every pairing is scored out of 100 on six criteria. The score measures how convenient the evening is for someone staying at the hotel — not the quality of the games, your chances at any game or the standard of the rooms, none of which this site rates.
- Proximity, 30 points. Under one roof 30; same complex 22; same estate 15.
- Hours, 20 points. Doors open 24 hours every day 20; 24 hours on some days 17; latest closing at 6 am or later 15; 4 am or later 12; earlier 8.
- Entry, 10 points. Walk in with photo ID 10; the venue mentions registration 6.
- Transport, 15 points. Station within three minutes on foot 15; within eight 11; further 8; a rail-and-airport site without a walkable station 9.
- Facilities, 15 points. Two points each for a restaurant, a bar, parking, step-free access, live sport and a terrace or private room; two for a poker room; one for a hotel spa or pool. Capped at 15.
- Data confidence, 10 points. Starts at 10. Minus four when the pairing rests only on third-party sources; minus two when the room count is a third-party figure or unpublished; minus one when the venue does not name its games; minus one when its own pages give conflicting hours.
Ties are broken alphabetically by page address. The full table is on the ranking page and the breakdown on every venue page.
Who pays for this site
The publisher named on the legal notice. No venue, operator, hotel group or booking platform pays for a listing, a position or a score, and none can. There are no affiliate links, no tracked outbound links, no advertising and no commission of any kind. Links go to hotel websites, to the Gambling Commission register and to help services only — never to any gambling website, online or offline. If that ever changes, this page will say so before it does.
Photographs
Every venue photograph is a real photograph of the building, the street or the estate, taken by the photographers credited below and published under Creative Commons licences on Wikimedia Commons, or under the Pexels licence for atmosphere images. All were cropped, resized and colour-adjusted for this site; the licences require that change to be stated. No image was generated or altered beyond that.
