Steps from the beach and the Pleasure Pier, this hotel has a European flair and creates an intimate feel with brick courtyards and walkways. Rooms are decorated in deep jewel tones and suites are named after Italian cities. Some ocean-facing rooms have open balconies, fireplaces, and marble baths. You can sunbathe on the private deck, or ask for beach towels and chairs to take to the cove. Pros : romantic; close to beach; incredible sun deck. Cons : though quiet in general, ground floor rooms can be noisy; some rooms are on small side; no elevator.
