This iconic Art Deco hotel is situated on the beach-adjacent side of this sky-blue building Ocean Avenue BLVD Hospitality’s renovation has brought the 1930s property back to its former grandeur. After nearly a century—the last half of which was a steady decline—the 1930s property is, once again, a design lover’s paradise, with a mix of Art Deco and Old Havana decor, a heavy dose of jet-set photography, and a dash of Wes Anderson. You’ll feel the retro-luxe-meets-whimsical vibes as soon as you step into the opulent lobby, with its original arched ceilings and curved staircase intact, drenched in colorful velvet furnishings—plus fun relics like rotary phones and manual typewriters—all centered around a horseshoe bar of imported jade green quartzite that attracts both travelers and locals with Italian-inspired cocktails. Art-covered walls with gold finishes and custom-made headboards make the rooms stylish and cheeky. Suites come with ocean views and record players. They also have built-in bars where you order desserts or Champagne with a simple button press.
