Seagate Hotel & Spa

The new Seagate Hotel & Spa feels like the type of grand hideaway you’d expect to find in the South of France…except it’s set on happening Delray Beach, FL, a lively resort neighborhood where families stroll the streets barefoot, and khaki-clad visitors—from wintering East Coast snowbirds to sun-kissed Floridians in the summer months—split their time between the beach and the locally run stores on Atlantic Avenue. Beach-chic abounds at the oceanfront property; the two pools are often filled with jet-setters and stylish weekenders (all of whom stop into the hotel’s Aqua Resortwear boutique for its well-edited selection of brands like Tory Burch and Burberry), and the private beach club serves up gazpacho and irresistible sweet potato fries to couples and families with ocean-loving kids. Come evening, the club offers a formal, jackets-only dinner service complete with an ocean view in its upstairs dining room, known for its veal chop. And, after a day in the sun, you can cool down with an evening aloe vera treatment at the property’s 8,000-square-foot spa.
