The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel
Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, United States · Independent · Near Luxury
Bay Harbor's first luxury hotel began life as a Tryp by Wyndham, then reopened in October 2021 as The Altair, a 96-room waterfront condo-hotel with interiors by Steven G. Its strongest personality comes from an unusually complete welcome for observant Jewish travelers: kosher dining at OVO, daily minyanim, Shabbat meals and elevators, and a stocked beis medrash, all beneath a seventh-floor pool overlooking the Intracoastal.
