The Ray, a 141-room tropical luxury hotel just two blocks off Atlantic Avenue in the heart of the funky Pineapple Grove Arts District, is a modern oasis that flawlessly blends chic design with sustainability. Delray Beach–based Menin Development opened the LEED Silver-certified hotel as a way to reinvigorate the area, and its two new eateries are no exception. “We have a unique opportunity to create memorable experiences for the city in a variety of ways,” says CEO and founder Craig Menin. “Our community is growing with such speed and diversity,” says Menin. “Delray Beach is going through a development renaissance. That said, we want to retain the character of our beach town that attracted us to live, work and develop here.”

Rosewater offers a robust food menu to take you from a day by the pool to a romantic date night serving up local snapper ceviche and inventive sushi.
