The Casino
The Bedford Crown is a brick-and-mortar hotel and casino. The casino floor is part of the building itself and is visited strictly in person through the main hotel entrance on The Esplanade.
A traditional casino, under the same roof as your room
Downstairs from the lobby, the casino rooms keep the character of a classic club: low lighting, dark wood and an attentive floor team. Hotel residents and visitors are equally welcome in person, provided they meet the door entry requirements.
Staying at the hotel and visiting the casino are entirely separate. A room booking does not include casino entry, and you never need to visit the casino to stay with us.
