This historic hotel from 1926 combines heritage charm with contemporary luxury across 185 guest rooms and 22 suites.

Other amenities include two bars, a two-story fitness center, and 10,000 square feet of event space.

The design draws inspiration from its coastal location, featuring deep blues, gold, and metallic accents that evoke sunlight on water. Original elements like plaster mouldings, the lobby mailbox, and exterior details have been preserved. The hotel’s prestigious history includes visits from Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Babe Ruth, and Clark Gable.
