My husband and I stayed at The St. Laurent Social Club twice (two separate weeks) in July! Both experiences were exceptional. From the seamless check-in to the warm, attentive hospitality, every detail made the stay feel effortless.
The rooms were beautifully designed with a modern surf chic vibe and perfectly chilled after a hot summer day at the beach or by the pool. Speaking of the pool—it quickly became our favorite part of the property. The lounge chairs are incredibly comfortable, the atmosphere is effortlessly relaxing, and the food and bevy service is fantastic. Rosé all day… you feel me? 🍷☀️
We also had dinner at Judy’s, and it was absolutely delicious. There were so many tempting options on the menu that it was hard to choose. The Chix Parm was next level P.S. Don’t skip the carbs. I watched them bake the bread fresh every day, and trust me—it’s worth every bite.
After two stays in one month, I can confidently say The St. Laurent has become my favorite place to stay in Asbury Park. I can’t wait to come back!
✨ The kind of place you almost want to keep to yourself… but it’s too good not to share.
Some places are trendy because social media says they are. Then there are places that actually live up to the hype. Saint Laurent Social Club is the latter.
From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a peaceful little escape tucked away in Asbury Park. The atmosphere was elegant, crisp, impeccably clean, and never felt overcrowded. It was the kind of place where you could truly exhale, settle into your lounge chair, and let the afternoon unfold.
The service was exceptional from beginning to end. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, and the staff made us feel welcomed without ever being intrusive. That balance is rare.
The food? Phenomenal.
My sister thoroughly enjoyed the Italian French 76, my mocktail was refreshing, and Judy’s Fries were unlike anything we’d had before. But the real star of the afternoon was the tuna melt. Every bite was perfection the bread was toasted just right, the cheese melted beautifully, the lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes were fresh and firm, and the tuna had just enough spice to make you pause and appreciate how good it really was. It completely stole the show.
What made the experience even more memorable was the atmosphere. We spent time relaxing by the pool, taking photos, creating content, and simply enjoying each other’s company. The energy was calm, sophisticated, and welcoming. It wasn’t loud or chaotic it attracted people who came to unwind, enjoy themselves, and appreciate the experience.
Saint Laurent Social Club isn’t trying to be everything for everyone, and I actually love that about it. If you’re looking for a high energy beach club, this may not be your scene. But if you appreciate quiet luxury, thoughtful service, excellent food, and a unique hidden gem that’s worth the drive, you’ll understand why this place is so special.
As someone who normally spends every chance I get on the beach, I’m so glad I decided to experience something different. It gave my sister and me the perfect backdrop to relax, laugh, make memories, and capture beautiful content together.
10/10. I’ll absolutely be back. Some places you visit once. Places like Saint Laurent Social Club become destinations.

This is my fave spot in Asbury for a treat yourself day. The pool is the perfect spot for a solo date or a friend meet up! The staff is always lovely, the environment is so calming and chill (it is a 21+ facility so no annoying kids), and the pool side food options are always delish! I love the availability to order a drink or bite delivered right to your chair with the QR code which indicates your chair location.

My husband and I stayed over Valentine’s weekend. It was amazing. Smooth check-in/check out. We cannot speak highly enough of the seamless service. From the check in staff to the bartender’s to the GM of the restaurant! Everyone was friends and approachable to ask anything or just make conversation. All are kind respectable and go out of their way to make a connection that makes you want to come back. Can’t wait to try in the summer when the pool is open. BTW the property is impeccable. Love the vibe! And the owner is AMAZING!

This place is an experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is small and intimate, which makes the stay feel really special. The on-site restaurant is easily 5 star quality, and the pool club is more than you could ask for. There's even a coffee and matcha truck on site, and you can have food and drinks delivered right to your lounge chair by using a cleverly QR code. Everything we tried was excellent.
It's definitely on the pricey side but absolutely worth the splurge for the overall experience!
