Poised at the end of Scenic Highway 30A — a 28.5-mile two-lane road that hugs the Northwest Florida Gulf Coast — is regal Rosemary Beach. One of the trendiest beachfront towns in the American South, this 107-acre oasis oozes Old World European charm despite the fact that it was founded in 1995.
In the heart of this disarmingly dear destination is a boutique jewel box hotel aptly named The Pearl Hotel. Opened in 2013, The Pearl Hotel is the town’s first hotel, giving you an easy way to escape to Rosemary Beach complete with a waterfront chaise lounge (under a black-and-white-striped umbrella, naturally) on a private strip of sand.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The Pearl is a stylish melding of old and new. The stately exterior smartly accented with bold black and white awnings, a clock tower and turrets gives way to a contemporary coastal design inside.
- Personal touches of Southern hospitality are found in the complimentary sparkling wine offered upon arrival and a refrigerator stocked with double-filtered water, soda and juices in the rooms.
- Just steps from The Pearl Hotel are nearly a dozen casual and fine-dining restaurants and specialty boutique shops.
- A stay at this Four-Star hotel affords you private beach access with lounge chair set-up and even a personal service to provide your own beach bonfire.
- A wide variety of outdoor activities are available to you as well, from golfing to biking, nature trail hiking and watersports (kayaking and paddle boating).
Things to Know
- Private dining, weddings, special events and business meetings (up to 250 people) can be staged in three flexible meeting spaces that open out onto the first-floor patio.
- The Pearl Hotel offers bath toiletries in its signature Pearl Bliss scent, exclusively made by Pish Posh Patchouli’s, a local Rosemary Beach shop.
- A 1938 mug shot of a 23-year-old Frank Sinatra hangs over the piano bar at Havana Beach Bar & Grill. The charge against him, it says, was “seduction.”
The Rooms
- Each of the 55 guest rooms — 41 standard rooms, nine suites, four cabana rooms and The Pearl penthouse suite (which has the best vista from the clock tower) — is bright, open and inviting.
- Crisp fine linens, plush terry robes, convenient Keurig coffee makers and a complimentary beach bag are just the beginning of the upscale in-room amenities.
- Guest rooms with private balconies have views of either the gracious Gulf, the quaint town or the pretty pool area lined with black-and-white cabanas.
- All rooms also are equipped with mini-fridges stocked with complimentary sodas, juices and bottled water.
The Restaurants
- Inspired by El Floridita, one of Hemingway’s favorite haunts in old-town Havana, Havana Beach Bar & Grill is a place with swagger. Tommy Crow’s vibrant color-chrome photo and video series of Havana add to the nostalgic vibe.
- Havana Beach is the perfect place to perch while enjoying an array of handcrafted cocktails, craft beers and fine wines that complement the chef’s Cuban-Caribbean-inspired dishes.
- Expect fare like Hemingway shrimp and grits, a wagyu burger with Boursin cheese and candied peppered bacon, and King’s Table organic jerk chicken with Carolina Gold rice and Caribbean pepper slaw.
- A sense of celebration permeates at Havana Beach Rooftop Lounge, a colorful rooftop cabana bar and eatery that features live music and activities (in season).
