The hotel at the Asbury Ocean Club has been included in an eclectic international list of the best new hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine.

Each year, Travel + Leisure editors scout hundreds of new hotels around the globe in pursuit of those that offer a special, holistic experience based on location, ambiance, service, and amenities, according to a news release from the magazine. The editors collaborate with Travel + Leisure’s global network of expert travel writers and agents to narrow the list.

“The beauty of staying at a hotel is that you can drop both your physical
and emotional baggage and be the best version of yourself,” said Jacqueline Gifford, Editor in Chief of Travel + Leisure. “With over 70 honorees—including a Loire Valley château and a series of lodges in Bhutan—our annual It List is packed with hotels that
make you feel spoiled, nurtured, and seamlessly connected to the outside world.”

The Travel + Leisure 2020 It List includes 19 hotels across the United
States including four in California, three in New York, and two in Hawaii, as well as in places such as Asbury Park, Detroit, Miami, New Orleans, and Philadelphia, among others.
