Hilton recently announced the opening of The Ray Hotel Delray Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton. The 141-room design-focused tropical luxury hotel is located in the Pineapple Grove Arts District, in the center of downtown Delray Beach. It's the first hotel project by real-estate developer Menin and has guestrooms and suites with artistic accents, a rooftop pool deck with a restaurant and bar, lush landscaping, a wellness program and fully equipped fitness center and art installations throughout its public spaces.
The hotel’s sustainable "Tropical Modern" architecture by González Architects is highlighted by living walls, large-scale sculptures and flexible private event space including the signature "floating glass cube." Designed by Virserius Studio, each room is spacious and has custom-made furniture and hand-woven rugs. The bright bathrooms have hand-carved marble wainscoting and the hotel’s all-natural signature bath amenities. Modern technology appears throughout the room from digital key entry, energy-efficient lighting controls and mobile device control for TV and room service.
Designed by Studio Munge and curated by Clique Hospitality, Ember Grill is a modern twist on the classic American grill-style restaurant, while Rosewater Rooftop is a premier lounge and restaurant where guests can savor small plates, seafood and cocktails. The 22,000-square-foot rooftop space also has a pool with Baldachins, oversized umbrellas, trellises and pergolas. The artisanal coffee shop, Stingers, is designed by Virserius Studio and offers coffee, tea and breakfast fare. The lobby bar provides an intimate backdrop where guests can enjoy a signature cocktail or light bites. Led by Michelin-starred chef Akira Back, the namesake Japanese restaurant, designed by Celano Design, is scheduled to open in December 2021.
The rooftop, a 22,000-square-foot floating glass cube, and the 9,550-square-foot ground floor plaza make up over 45,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor event space. At the property’s fitness center, fitness classes are offered by the hotel’s local partners, including Montana Method, Purlife and Delray Beach Boxing Club. Guests can also practice yoga in the Plaza or on the Cube Rooftop. The hotel is located blocks away from the Atlantic Avenue filled with galleries, boutique shops and restaurants. Guests can go on a short ride to the beach to enjoy complimentary beach cabanas on Mokes, golf carts or bicycles. The Ray has also partnered with local business Nomad Surf Shop in order to provide surfboard and paddleboard rentals.
