Categories

  1. A boutique hotel on the Rockaway Beach strip, designed by Morris Adjmi, the architect behind Brooklyn's Wythe, so it has that same knowing downtown confidence planted squarely in deep Queens. The 53 rooms look out over the Atlantic or Jamaica Bay, the palette runs to sand and ocean blue, and the beach-and-pool scene in summer makes the subway commute from midtown feel like a reasonable sacrifice.
