Asbury Ocean Club Hotel

The place

Asbury Ocean Club Hotel stands a few steps from the Asbury Park beachfront, a sleek modern glass building with the ocean close enough to hear. Anda Andrei's interiors are crisp and minimal.

The 54 guest rooms and suites keep to clean neutrals — modern furnishing, dark wooden floors, floor-to-ceiling windows that hold the light all day. The details run quiet: custom linens, Grown Alchemist toiletries, a Bowers & Wilkins speaker. Many rooms open onto a private terrace or balcony.

The outdoor pool is the centerpiece, its loungers facing a sweep of the Jersey Shore. A lush garden terrace, a state-of-the-art gym, and a holistic spa sit alongside. The Drawing Room, the all-day restaurant and bar, serves fresh coastal cuisine.
