"The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, built by the same team behind Grand Central Terminal, harks back to a rather rosier era for the Jersey Shore, when well-to-do beachgoers booked their vacations in Beaux-Arts landmarks. The Berkeley still retains that luster, especially in its red-brick façade and light-flooded public spaces. Upstairs, rooms remain sophisticated and modern, with plush linens and patterned textiles in coastal colorways. An outdoor pool, complete with cabanas and a tiki bar, offers a private respite from the boardwalk action." - Tablet Hotels
