Bottom Line

It draws both trendy Manhattanites looking for a convenient beach getaway and business travelers attending corporate events on-site. Big rooms have light, airy decor, plush beds, and sleek limestone bathrooms; some have beach and ocean views. The restaurants serve gourmet organic cuisine and tasty cocktails, and in nice weather Atlantica restaurant opens its windows right up to the boardwalk. Hurricane Sandy hit Long Beach hard, decimating the boardwalk and flooding the hotel lobby. The hotel fully rebuilt, but some guests complain that rooms fall short of luxury expectations.

Boutique hotel right on the Long Beach boardwalk with Miami-chic style
The Allegria Hotel ranks among the top luxury hotels on Long Island, and its location makes it particularly noteworthy. It's the only hotel right on the Long Beach boardwalk, and will remain so -- the hotel opened in 2009, but the building first received permission to open as a hotel in the 1930s, allowing the developers to get around modern zoning rules. The hotel has undeniable South Beach flair, and during the warmer months its second-floor bar, rooftop lounge, and rooftop pool draw both guests and local beachgoers. Even more unusual for the area: The hotel offers not only direct beach access via an underground tunnel, but beach service (excluding alcohol, which law prohibits on the sand).
The hotel is also within walking distance of the Long Island Railroad and an hour's train ride from New York City, making it popular with Manhattanites looking for a more convenient getaway than the Hamptons. When the weather turns cold, the hotel increases its focus on business travelers and corporate events; it's a 30-minute drive from JFK, and offers impressive meeting space for its size.

Rooms
Big, airy rooms and limestone bathrooms
The rooms at the Allegria Hotel have beach-chic decor: light woods, plush white bedding, and blue accents, all of which contributes to the bright, airy feel. Spacious, sleek limestone bathrooms have walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads.
The only difference between the rooms is the view: city view, beach, or oceanfront. It should be noted that the beach views typically only have partial views of the water and also look over the hotel parking lot, while the city views face either the city or an interior atrium. Oceanfront views deliver what they advertise: The views are stunning, and the big windows open up so guests can let in the sea breezes.
The hotel does offer some suites as well, which have two rooms -- a living and dining room area as well as a bedroom -- and larger bathrooms with soaking tubs.
- Beds have high thread count sheets and fresh white duvets
- 37-inch flat-screen TVs

Atrium is a bar and restaurant with live piano music and a big fireplace.
Jack's on the Rocks is a dramatic rooftop lounge (adjacent to the rooftop pool) that is principally used for events, though it's also used as a bar in the high season. It has ocean views, as well as a distant view of the New York City skyline.
