Harbor Court Hotel

Built in 1926, this Spanish Colonial Revival building has had many past lives. It was originally an Army-Navy YMCA residence, housing soldiers returning from war. Today, the recently remodeled YMCA—complete with fitness studios and a full-sized pool—resides next door and is free to hotel guests. (Reward your workout with the omakase tasting menu at Ozumo, the high-end Japanese restaurant downstairs.) Though the Harbor Court has a rich past, its spacious, golden-hued guest rooms have been updated with the times. Now owned by OLS Hotels & Resorts, perks include Frette linens, free WiFi, complimentary beer and wine each
