Site Visit: Asbury Ocean Club and The Asbury Hotel

The Asbury Ocean Club sets a whole new standard in Asbury Park. Despite its impressive size, this hotel occupies just one floor, creating an intimate and boutique atmosphere that you're bound to fall in love with.

The restaurant and bar, although not open to the public, exude a wonderfully chill atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. The hotel is constructed in a U-shape and surrounds a serene dune garden, pool and pool bar. In season, it's definitely the perfect oasis to unwind and soak up the good vibes away from the boardwalk.

Because of its unique shape, most of the rooms offer picturesque sights, but the Ocean View Suites and Penthouse Suites truly steal the show. These are the ones you'll want to snag for an unforgettable experience. While the maximum capacity for all rooms and suites is two people, families of six can enjoy the luxury of the two penthouse areas by booking them as a three-suite rental.

The Asbury Ocean Club is all about setting the mood for couples looking for a romantic escape. It's the ultimate destination for a dreamy weekend getaway with your special someone. And here's an exciting tidbit: some of the rooms offer perfect views of the renowned Stone Pony Summerstage, awarding you with your own seat to the night's show. In fact, this place is so fabulous that it's not uncommon to spot touring musicians and celebrities choosing to stay at the Ocean Club.

Rates vary depending on the season. But whenever you go, it's well worth the splurge for a luxury experience.

The sister property, Asbury Hotel, is located just a block away. This place radiates a quirky and fun vibe that's hard to resist. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted by a restaurant/coffee shop that's open to the public and often hosts live local acts. It's like stepping into a trendy NYC coffee shop, but with a chill beach-town flavor.

While the single rooms may be a bit smaller and lack that spa-like ambience of the Asbury Ocean Club, they offer practicality and comfort, especially for families and friend groups. The Asbury Hotel has thought of everything, providing connecting rooms, double queens and even quad and octo rooms with bunk beds. It's perfect for those looking for a cozy and convenient stay.

One of the best things about the Asbury Hotel is its approachable rates, especially for families. So, whether you're looking for a family adventure or a getaway with friends, the Asbury Hotel is the place to be. Immerse yourself in its playful and vibrant atmosphere, enjoy the live entertainment and indulge in the more accessible rates that make your vacation even sweeter.
