When this building first opened in 1926, it was a luxury oceanfront resort, but it most recently functioned as a 233-unit congregate care facility. In 2018, a renovation began to transform the landmark into a boutique hotel, with both modern energy-efficient systems and historic aesthetics.

The project involved restoring key architectural elements such as the exterior facade, the ornate lobby ceiling, a World War II-era cupola-mounted pillbox and the arcade hallway. The revitalized 14-story property now features 185 guest rooms and suites, a 4,000-sq-ft pool deck, multiple dining venues and more than 9,000 sq ft of retail space.
