This prop- erty is the cool kid on the block, without being too cool for school. YOU CAN TRUST IN THE 300+ rooms stretch out among three towers; two dating to the 1950s and updated with mid-century tendencies throughout like terrazzo floors, brass hardware and graphic textiles. The rooms are spacious with chic beachy accents and amenities like Wi-Fi, in-room safes, a retro bar cart and mini-bar, large flat screens, rain showers, wall built-in USB ports. Jonathan Adler amenities in bathrooms make taking advantage of the giant tubs built into walk-in showers a dream. Select suites feature the über-chic Plum Wine Dispensers (think vino on demand) allowing for sin- gle pours or tastings of select wines with the touch of a button. No need to call room service or wait. The one in our suite was dispensing Evesham Wood Pinot Noir and Justin Sauvignon Black (6oz pour is $12–$16).
