The Asbury Hotel will open in May at 2010 Fifth Ave, one block from the ocean. near the Paramount Theatre. The Asbury Park developers iStar Financial is remodeling the old Salvation Army rest home, and the new boutique hotel will have 110 rooms and will feature all sorts of innovative ideas. The rooms will start at $125.00 per day. The hotel will be connected to the Asbury Lanes which is behind it on 4th Avenue (see above.)
In the back is a large area being constructed for parking. I can’t tell if they will have any underground parking. That would be of interest being so close to the ocean, but it worked out in Long Branch.
AP is capable of providing ample parking for a hotel. This is the rear of the Asbury Hotel. 11/26/15. Blogfinger photo. ©
But now that a new A. Park hotel is to open less than a mile from OG, do you suppose WAVE will be looking to scuttle the OG hotel idea and replace it with even more condos? Will there be some more zoning legerdemain? Will this turn out to be a scam, exchanging a hotel that we don’t need for yet more condos?
