In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The sandy shore sits across Ocean Boulevard, and Atlantic Avenue's sidewalk bistros and galleries start right at the doorstep.
The rooms
Oceanfront rooms look toward the beach from private balconies, finished in pale wood and calm coastal blues.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Two outdoor swimming pools sit on the grounds, including an oceanfront sun deck with an adjacent whirlpool.
The spa
The spa houses an indoor salt room, and treatment rooms named after healing stones host sound baths.
At the table
Drift serves coastal seafood across sailing-inspired dining rooms, and Monkey Bar mixes cocktails beneath a glass skylight.
How it began
The site once hosted Delray's landmark Seacrest Hotel, shedding its later Spanish tiles for crisp Caribbean shutters in 2021.
