Best Luxury Hotels Near Magic Mountain Water Park
Luxury hotels near Magic Mountain Water Park in Moncton mean two very different properties: Hotel Casino New Nouveau Brunswick, built around a Las Vegas-style casino floor and a large gym five minutes from Magnetic Hill Park, and Amsterdam Inn & Suites, a two-minute walk from Casino New Brunswick with spacious guestrooms and a deluxe continental breakfast. Neither is a resort in the traditional sense, but both sit closer to the top end of the strip than the highway motels nearby, and both put an evening out for the parents within easy reach once the kids are settled after a day of Magic Mountain's outdoor slides.
Casino New Brunswick anchors this corner of Moncton, close enough to both luxury properties that neither needs a car to reach it in the evening, and the Trans-Canada Highway runs a short drive from both to Magnetic Hill and the water park itself. It is a more grown-up stretch of the city than the family-motel strip further along the highway, built as much for a weekend without kids as for a family trip that happens to want a nicer room at the end of a slide day.

Moncton's luxury bracket is small and specific rather than a long list of resort options, which is worth knowing before booking: the two properties here lean on a casino-hotel model and a spacious-suite model rather than a spa-resort format. That makes the choice less about comparing amenities and more about whether the trip includes an evening out for the adults once the kids are down, or whether space and a real breakfast matter more than a night at the tables after a full day spent chasing toboggans and wave pools at the water park nearby.
Hotel Casino New Nouveau Brunswick sits five minutes from Magnetic Hill Park with a Las Vegas-style casino floor covering 24,000 square feet of slot machines, table games and poker rooms, alongside a live entertainment and convention venue on site. Modern rooms carry large windows with city or mountain views and high ceilings, and the spacious bathrooms include a walk-in spa shower and bathrobes, a genuine step up from the highway motels elsewhere on this strip, though the casino floor itself requires guests to be at least 19, so it functions as an adults-only evening option.
A large, fully-equipped gym rounds out the wellness side of Hotel Casino New Brunswick, useful for a parent trying to keep a fitness routine going on a multi-day water park trip, and Hub City Pub on the casino gaming floor gives the adults somewhere to spend an evening once younger kids are asleep. Proof of vaccination and valid government ID are required for casino entry, worth knowing ahead of a trip, and free parking is included despite the property's more upscale positioning relative to the highway motels nearby, which keeps the overall cost closer to the rest of the strip than expected.
Amsterdam Inn & Suites takes a different route to luxury: spacious guestrooms and suites with contemporary furnishings, a 49-inch Pro:Centric TV and DVD player in every unit, and a deluxe continental breakfast with a variety of hot and cold items each morning. It sits a two-minute walk from Casino New Brunswick, so the evening entertainment is close without booking a room inside the casino hotel itself, and downtown Moncton remains a ten-kilometre drive away for a change of scene on a rest day from the slides, useful if the trip runs long enough to want a break from the water park.
Amsterdam Inn's location near Magic Mountain, Magnetic Hill Zoo and several golf courses suits a family that wants a quieter, more spacious room without the casino floor downstairs, while still being close enough to walk over for an evening if the parents want one. Free parking, family rooms and nearby nature trails round out a stay built for comfort rather than a resort's full amenity list, which keeps it the more family-leaning of the two luxury picks on this stretch of Moncton near the water park and Magnetic Hill, and the 24-hour tea and coffee service means an early slide-day start is never an issue.
A traveler's takeWe booked Hotel Casino New Brunswick mainly for the walk-in spa shower after three days of slides, and ended up spending one evening at Hub City Pub once the kids were asleep, a five-minute walk from Magnetic Hill Park itself. The large windows with mountain views made the room feel like more than just somewhere to sleep between water park days, which is what we had expected.

Check availabilityWhy guests love itWe walked to Casino New Brunswick one evening after the kids were asleep, just two minutes from the room, which felt like a real night out on a trip otherwise built around Magic Mountain. The deluxe continental breakfast fed everyone well before the drive to the park each morning, and the 49-inch TV kept the kids entertained on the one grey afternoon the slides closed early.

Check availabilityWhy guests love itWe used the walk-in spa shower every evening after Magic Mountain, and the large gym kept one of us on a routine most mornings before the kids woke up. Being five minutes from Magnetic Hill Park meant the drive stayed short every single day, and the one evening we visited Hub City Pub without the kids felt like a genuine break from a trip that otherwise revolved around the slides.
Local tips
- 1Book Hotel Casino New Brunswick if an evening out for the adults matters; remember the casino floor itself requires guests to be 19 or older.
- 2Choose Amsterdam Inn & Suites for a quieter, more spacious family room without a casino floor downstairs, still close enough to walk over.
- 3Bring valid government ID and proof of vaccination if planning to use the casino at Hotel Casino New Brunswick during the stay.
- 4Ask about the walk-in spa shower rooms specifically at Hotel Casino New Brunswick; not every room category includes the upgraded bathroom.
- 5Pack for a mix of luxury and slides: both properties sit a short drive from Magic Mountain rather than directly on the park grounds.
- 6Compare the deluxe continental breakfast at Amsterdam Inn against Hotel Casino New Brunswick's dining before booking if breakfast quality matters.
