The Ray
Tropical Modernist with an arts-district edge. Living walls, large-scale sculptures, lush outdoor plazas, and warm-toned interiors designed by Virserius Studio. Think Palm Beach polish meets downtown energy — not a beach resort, but a design hotel that happens to be near one.
The daily destination fee covers complimentary bikes, beach shuttle, beach chairs/umbrella, beach bag with towels, and 50% off fitness classes — ask at check-in what's included so you don't miss it
Why It Matters
The only hotel anchoring the Pineapple Grove Arts District, with a 22,000-square-foot rooftop pool deck, Michelin-starred chef Akira Back running two of its three dining outlets, LEED certification, and an AAA Four Diamond rating. Complimentary Moke and beach bike transport make the beach feel effortless despite the 1-mile distance.
The Ray is a 141-room Tropical Modernist hotel in Delray Beach's Pineapple Grove Arts District, designed by Virserius Studio — two blocks from Atlantic Avenue and a mile from the ocean. It's the kind of place where the lobby feels like a gallery, the rooftop is genuinely worth fighting for a cabana, and three restaurants (including a Michelin-starred chef's namesake spot) mean you might not leave the property for dinner. LEED-certified, AAA Four Diamond, and carrying more art installations than most museums in this zip code.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel provides complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas, and a shuttle (Moke, golf cart, or beach bike) to Delray Municipal Beach, about 1 mile away. Beach bags with towels are also provided as part of the daily destination fee. Oceanside Beach Service sets up your spot.
Hotel bikes, Moke electric vehicles, and golf carts are available for complimentary rides around downtown or to the beach. A fun way to cover the mile to the water without waiting for a shuttle.
Regular live music nights and one-off pop-up events at Ella lobby bar and Rosewater Rooftop. Check the hotel's event calendar before arrival.
Yoga at sunrise, high-intensity bootcamps, and wellness pop-ups on the Plaza Lawn, hosted by local partners Purlife and Bootique Burn. Resort fee includes 50% off classes.
The 22,000-square-foot rooftop pool deck is the social heart of the hotel. Cabanas, lounge chairs, bar service from Rosewater Rooftop, and DJ nights on busy evenings. Not just a place to swim — it's a scene.
Rentable surfboards and paddleboards available through surf partner Nomad. Arrange at the front desk and they'll set you up for a session at Delray Beach.
