HeadWaters Resort
& Casino
Project Overview
The HeadWaters Resort & Casino will be a destination that incorporates the beauty of the Elizabeth River, the action of Harbor Park ballgames, and vistas of downtown Norfolk. While relaxing in one of the more than 300 rooms, guests can enjoy panoramic views of the river and Harbor Park. Other features include a gaming floor, rooftop bar, rooftop infinity pool, luxury spa, sports bar and grill, steakhouse, ballroom/meeting event center, and a rooftop outdoor restaurant. The attached parking deck will accommodate about 2,000 vehicles, with additional off-site parking. Guests arriving by Amtrak will find easy access to the resort.
The project will redefine the Elizabeth River waterfront with a new marina, which will allow guests to travel by boat to the resort and casino, or to dock while taking the family to a baseball game next door. The project will also add to the Elizabeth River Trail.
