Hotel Escalante

On the quiet end of the 5th Avenue shopping district and 1 1/2 blocks from the beach, this romantic 10-suite boutique hotel is perfect for couples who want convenience, no crowds, and a bit of pampering. The Mediterranean villa-style hotel is ensconced in 4 acres of private gardens with more than 300 species of plants, walkways of old brick from Chicago, and fountains from France. All units are luxuriously appointed with marble bathrooms, some with European soaking tubs. There is also a restaurant, Veranda E, which serves French-inspired, Asian-influenced fare grows their own herbs and spices on-site. Rates include complimentary continental breakfast in your room or at the restaurant. A house golf cart will whisk you to the beach, where you can enjoy a catered lunch from the restaurant or just park yourself on reserved beach chairs.
