Rooftop bar, pool, live music, and delicious egg sandwiches
"Housed in a former historic Salvation Army building, this discerningly retro digs sits just a block and a half from those sandy, Boss-beloved (yes, that Boss) beaches, and pays perfect tribute to the town’s eclectic but laidback legacy: Black-and-white beachgoer snaps adorn the walls of its 110 suites, and the mod interior is all clean lines and bright, punchy accents. Once you’re settled in and feeling social, you’ve got options: There’s Soundbooth, the lounge-adjacent lobby bar, where pinball games and conversation flourish, or Salvation, the lantern-lit rooftop cantina, a perfect improvisatory pit stop for those seeking a view—with a drink in hand, of course. Hungry? Sample some tasty food truck fare at the Beergarden, then head up to The Baronet, the rooftop garden hotspot that, by night, doubles as a ‘drive-in’—movies are projected onto a 20-foot wall—and even hosts the occasional live performance. If you're looking to hit town, all the main shops and restaurants are within a 15-20 minute walk. You'll see the city's musical culture echoed in stylish vintage stores—think fringe jackets, tinted sunglasses, and authentic Tom Petty tour shirts—and of course, Springsteen photos throughout. Don't forget to hit the beach before you leave: Even in the dead of winter, you can catch a concert at the Paramount Theater, right on the boardwalk."
"A rooftop bar atop a local hotel offering cocktails and sunset views over town, popular for happy hour." - Natalie Beauregard
"Fellow visionary Anda Andrei and the team at Salt hotels brought pops of fun to the Jersey Shore when they opened the affordable Asbury Hotel to court Brooklyn 20-somethings in 2016."
"The Asbury Hotel is a previous development by Master Developer iStar, featuring pool tables and a rooftop bar. It played a significant role in reviving Asbury's historic beachside, attracting weekending Brooklynites."
"If you're spending the night, book your stay at The Asbury Hotel, which feels trendy without trying too hard. Think clean wood designs and fun extras: a record library in the lobby, a turquoise bar serving inventive cocktails, a game room with a pool table and vintage pinball. Rooms are comfortable and come with all the necessary accoutrements (e.g. Malin + Goetz bath products), while the rooftop has a great bar—Salvation—and ocean views to match. The real star, however, is the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich you can pick up at The Counter downstairs. (If you spend too much time at Salvation, you’ll need it). While there’s plenty to do in town, you can have just as much fun hanging around the hotel. Grab a drink at the outdoor Beergarden (ground level), take a dip in the pool, or catch a sunrise yoga class at Baronet, the Asbury's other rooftop venue (yep, there are two). You might even catch a concert while you're there—the lobby has singer/songwriter nights every Thursday at 8 p.m., and anyone is welcome to sign up."
