Rooftop pool, chic decor, and chef-driven dining experiences

























"Delray Beach, some fifty miles up the coast from Miami, has been up-and-coming for a while, and with the arrival of a boutique hotel from Hilton’s Curio Collection, it just might have officially arrived. The Ray was designed by Virserius Studio in a Tropical Modernist style that’s freed from the Art Deco demands of its southern neighbors; here the rooms and suites are crisp and contemporary with relaxed, eclectic accents." - Mark Fedeli

"The Ray Hotel, a recent addition to Delray, opened in 2021 and presents a modern alternative befitting the Pineapple Grove Arts District with living walls, sculptures, and a chic rooftop pool. It's further inland, about a mile from the beach, but ideal for those who like details such as chilled towels at the gym and swanky hotel dining. The crown jewel of the dining options, Akira Back allures with a Japanese and Korean-inspired menu by the eponymous chef who was born in Seoul."
"I loved the art-filled atmosphere at this 141-room Hilton Curio property, which delights design enthusiasts with impressive art installations, large sculptures, living walls, bespoke furnishings, and a spacious open-concept layout; while it's not on the beach, it offers a rooftop pool for lounging and cocktails, complimentary cruisers to bike to the sand, and the greenery-filled Rosewater Rooftop, an all-day indoor/outdoor drinking and dining venue with panoramic views and refreshing drinks and bites." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"A wood burning Josper grill is the secret weapon at this upbeat spot that also houses chef Akira Back’s eponymous restaurant. Don’t miss the Peruvian spiced chicken or whole branzino, while the Baked Alaska with clouds of Italian meringue can’t be missed." - Beth Landman
