$200-500+/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a scene-y, architectural stunner with a killer rooftop pool and Michelin-starred dining, and you don't mind noise.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The 'Tropical Modern' design is legitimately gorgeous (living walls, sculptures)
- Rosewater Rooftop is *the* place to be seen in Delray Beach
- Walkable to Atlantic Avenue nightlife but set in the artsier Pineapple Grove district
Resumen rápido: A visual masterpiece that prioritizes rooftop parties and aesthetics over sleep quality and traditional service.
Reseñado por @courtneythetravelista: I’m obsessed with the design here—it’s called Tropical Modernism and it totally works. My room felt like a chic apartment, and the glass shower is bold! Definitely grab a cocktail by the pool; the vibe is unmatched.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, but it's more for lounging/socializing than swimming laps, and access shifts to a bar vibe in the evening.

Is there parking?
Valet only ($42/night). There is no self-parking on-site.
