The Grand Hotel

9601 Atlantic Ave.
Diamond Beach, NJ 08260

The Grand Hotel was a box-like brown hotel built in the 1970's. It sat Vacant for a year or so until it was demolished in 2006. The new grand is being built in its place. It is about 14 stories tall, one of the tallest or the tallest buildings on the island. Kind of makes you miss the old one.

Satellite Motel

5909 Atlantic Avenue
Wildwood Crest, NJ 08260

An architectural expression of the creavitiy, exuberance and optimism of the nation at the dawn of the Space Age, the Satellite was arguably Will Morey's masterpiece, and one of the Wildwoods' signature "Doo Wop" landmarks. Despite a valiant effort to save it, the motel was closed and demolished after the 2004 season, setting off a wave of redevelopment (particularly in the Crest) that winter.

Historic Register: The Satellite was located in the Crest Historical District.
