Crane's Beach House
Delray Beach, Florida, United States · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Crane's Beach House began in 1952 as a modest apartment complex a block from the sand in Delray Beach, then became a Key West-style boutique hotel when New Yorker Michael Crane bought the property in 2000 for $1.2 million and spent two decades building it into 28 suites and villas tucked behind a tropical treeline. Menin Development, the local developer behind Delray's Ray Hotel, bought Crane's for $10 million in 2021 but kept it independently run, with the same saltwater pools, hammocks, and Tiki hut that earned it the nickname 'Delray's hidden treasure.'
