Fodor's Expert Review Colony Hotel & Cabaña Club
525 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, Florida, 33483, USA
Not to be confused with the luxurious Colony in Palm Beach, this charming hotel in the heart of downtown Delray dates back to 1926, and although it's landlocked, it does have a cabana club 2 miles away for hotel guests only. The hotel is a member of the National Trust's Historic Hotels of America and maintains an air of the 1920s with its Mediterranean-revival architecture and retro Old Florida furnishings. The hotel's Cabaña Club, to which you are conveyed by shuttle, oversees a private stretch of beach and a heated saltwater pool. A convivial bar and live music on weekend nights make the lobby area a great place to wind down. Yoga classes are held there daily as well. Fine shops selling leather goods, body products, and stationery fill the lower-level storefronts.
