"It’s hard to believe that the Rockaway Hotel in Queens is only an hour from Manhattan’s city sidewalks. This 53-room breezy beachside hotel (think rattan chairs and blond wood everywhere) has become the hub for both diehard surfers and the area’s burgeoning creatives. While the hotel boasts an impressive collection of contemporary art, there’s also an outdoor heated pool with loungers on the rooftop, offering views of both the ocean and the city. There’s also a yoga deck and spa with an infrared sauna." - The MICHELIN Guide
