The Ray

Located close enough to the beach (one block) but in the heart of Delray’s arty, hip Pineapple Grove, this Hilton property is more reminiscent of a Miami boutique hotel than a chain. It has an ultra-modern design, not unlike a glass-encased Malibu Barbie beach house, with sculptures, modern art, living walls, immersive installations in the public areas, and a chic, 22,000 square foot roof deck with bar, pool, three restaurants and views for miles. Room décor is aptly described as “tropical modern”; the shiplap and wainscotting are quality, as are the crisp Eucalyptus linens and Frette bath towels and robes. Hilton, who are you? Rent a surfboard here and hop on the free transportation to the beach via the golf cart’s hipper cousin, the Moke, or just hang at the pool all day.
