This 1959 gem is showing its age, which is why new owners are giving it a big-bucks face-lift while preserving its mid-century-modern bone structure. The 23 rooms wrap around a peanut-sized swimming pool where guests and locals mingle during 'dive-in movies' on Wednesday nights.
The restaurant has a big local following too, as much for its modern American cuisine as its potent cocktails. On-site parking is limited and costs $12.
