After six months of work and more than 20 million gold in restoration work, the Imperial Grand Rhy'Din Hotel and Casino is now open in Rhy'Din's Temple District.

Fashioned after Earth's most exclusive, luxurious hotel, the H?tel de Paris, in Monaco, the Imperial Grand Rhy'Din brings a magical, memorable and sumptuous setting to the city. Marble floors, sculptures and colonnades, crystal chandeliers, gilt-framed works by Old Masters, and fresh hot-house flowers adhere to a grand tradition of prestige and speak to the remarkable care lavished on tiny details that mark each visitor?s personalised welcome.

The Imperial Grand Rhy'Din is perfect for weddings, gala events, a girls' week-end at the most beautiful spa in all of Rhy'Din, a special celebratory meal at the Temple Restaurant, or a relaxing, stress-free weekend away in one of our 24 opulent suites.
