a light and stylish luxury hotel that’s set right on Ocean Avenue, steps from the boardwalk and the beach.
“the hotel’s inviting, residential atmosphere continues in its Drawing Room, a convivial living room/bar/kitchen hybrid, all enclosed in glass, which floats within a reflecting pool”
“the pool deck and garden terrace blend seamlessly into the ocean beyond, creating a serene oasis just four stories above the beach.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The boardwalk and beach sit right across the avenue, with legendary music clubs like The Stone Pony just a short walk away.
The rooms
Light-flooded lofts feature double-height ceilings, pale wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing Atlantic surf or tranquil dune gardens.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The fourth-floor oceanfront pool is surrounded by native dune gardens and a wisteria-draped pergola.
The gym and yoga deck
The fitness center looks out to the ocean and opens onto an open-air yoga and meditation terrace.
Bar
The Drawing Room
The glass-walled lounge sits beside a reflecting pool, serving craft cocktails and seasonal dishes beside a retro green-tiled fireplace.
Colorful tiles, low lighting, and deep, deep armchairs make you feel like you’re being entertained in the eminently fashionable home of a particularly expert host.
At the table
The seasonal Pool Bar and Grille serves cold-pressed juices and craft cocktails under a leafy pergola on the pool deck.
