winner 1. Housed in a red brickclad former Salvation Army building, the Asbury Hotel was the area's first new hotel in 50 years (part of iStar's redevelopment project for the town) and acts as a bungalow on the beach with a rock 'n' roll edge. 2. The mostly black and white rooftop bar Salvation is set beneath a twinkling green-hued steel trellis with various lantern-lit seating areas, a long bar, and sweeping views. 3. Cloud-like chandeliers in the graband-go reception area are made of a series of rattan shades that hang at varying lengths above picnic tables.
