However, up to date, one has never been built. Plans for a hotel have been spoken of since 2010.
The venue, which will feature a connection to the existing casino, calls for a two-story hotel ballroom, event lawn, and multiple guest loading/unloading zones. The project also includes Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant parking and signage and additional parking. The new amenity, near the Parx East racetrack grandstand area, would span about 6 acres, comprising 71,681 square feet, according to development plans filed with Bensalem from the Keystone Turf Club and Bensalem Racing Association. The company intends to develop an upscale 15-story hotel at Parx Casino's site. According to the Bucks County Courier Times, no date has yet been set for further consideration of the plan at the township level, but it will be publicly announced when determined. Thus, the development may still be several years away, as it needs to meet several township land development considerations and may have to overcome potential resistance from residents. While the vote accepted the plan as brought forward by the applicant, it does not imply it has been fully approved, as the project must still clear a series of hurdles. The Bensalem Township Planning Commission voted to accept a plan presented by Parx Casino's parent company Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment to develop a 15-story hotel at its Street Road property in Pennsylvania.
