The Asbury Hotel

Sobre este lugar The Asbury Hotel

The Asbury Hotel is one of the most important buildings in the story of Asbury Park's revival: a stylish boutique hotel that opened in 2016 in the shell of a former YMCA two blocks from the boardwalk, signalling the arrival of design-conscious hospitality investment in a city that had been without significant hotel development for decades. The hotel's 110 rooms are designed with the deliberate casualness of a beach property that knows its market — young, design-conscious, and drawn to the particular combination of nostalgia and reinvention that Asbury Park embodies. The rooftop bar is the social hub of the summer evening: open to hotel guests and the public, with views of the boardwalk and ocean, it operates as one of the best outdoor drinking spaces on the New Jersey Shore. The ground-floor bar and the Salvation café-bar are similarly popular with the city's gay community and their visitors. The Asbury is explicitly welcoming of LGBTQ+ guests and has been a significant part of the city's queer social infrastructure since it opened. For visitors who want to be at the centre of Asbury Park's revival culture, it is the correct choice.
