Hard Rock Hotel Heads to New England

Hard Rock Hotels are expanding quickly across the U.S., and the newest location will be in an interesting spot: Downtown Hartford, Connecticut. It will be the hotelier’s first New England property.

Hard Rock International announced plans to build a 170-room hotel and Hard Rock Cafe next to Dunkin Donuts Park, the new baseball park that will host minor league baseball.

The new hotel will feature a spa, fitness center and rooftop pool with views of Hartford., and be located at the corner of Main and Trumbull Streets. The hotel is expected to open in 2018.
