(AsiaGameHub) – One of New Hampshire’s biggest and most well-known hotels, the Sheraton in Nashua, a city landmark famous for its castle-like appearance, is slated to be redeveloped into the Gate City Casino Hotel under a new plan from its owner, Delaware North.
The Sheraton Will Be Converted Into a Casino
New York-based gaming and hospitality firm Delaware North has operated Gate City Casino, a former Nashua billiards hall, since late 2022. The company now plans to relocate the casino from its current industrial park location to the Sheraton Nashua property. The 337-room hotel is widely known for its castle-inspired design drawn from medieval European architecture.
Delaware North plans to build a new extension in front of the existing hotel, which will hold the gaming floor, dining venues, and a parking garage. The full development proposal includes up to 1,000 gaming options, including slot machines, table games, and poker tables. Non-gaming amenities are expected to include a full-service restaurant, a steakhouse, a combined sports bar and restaurant, and an Asian noodle bar.
The expanded Sheraton property will feature a 65,000-square-foot gaming floor in its first phase, with a planned opening before the end of 2027. A second phase, targeted for 2030, will expand total gaming space to 93,000 square feet, almost doubling the size of the casino compared to its current facility. The existing casino is expected to close once the new venue opens.
The Structure Will Keep Its Iconic Memorable Design
John Weaver, an attorney with the firm McLane Middleton representing Delaware North, said the Sheraton will be renamed the Gate City Casino Hotel but will still preserve its one-of-a-kind exterior look. Weaver, who grew up in nearby Merrimack, said he has viewed the building from Route 3 his entire life. As a child, he often wondered why there was a castle in New Hampshire — a question that felt especially significant to him at age seven, highlighting the cultural importance of the building’s iconic design.
Back in 2016, Delaware North partnered with Suffolk Off-Track Betting Corporation to redevelop a former 227-room hotel on Long Island into a video lottery casino, which means the company already has extensive experience converting hotels into casino properties. For this New Hampshire project, Delaware North is not modifying any existing sections of the Sheraton Nashua, and is instead expanding the property to add gaming amenities. The hotel’s Tudor-style exterior, including its moat-like gatehouse porte-cochère, will remain completely unchanged.
