About The Hotel
Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach is a 4.7-rated (4,849 reviews) polished oceanfront marquee at 918 N Atlantic Ave. — at the north end of the Daytona Beach strip.

Subratings are top-tier: 4.8 cleanliness, 4.8 location, 4.7 rooms, 4.7 service, 4.7 sleep quality and 4.5 value across 4,849 reviews. Reviewers repeatedly single out standout servers — Kristina, Jeff — for outstanding multi-meal service; recent 5-stars praise mahi tacos at lunch and attentive multi-day dining coverage. A resort-experience property rather than an in-room jacuzzi — the marquee is the direct oceanfront, music-and-service programming, and the highest-rated oceanfront strip experience in Daytona Beach.
What Guests Are Saying
“I had breakfast at Sessions at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach, and it was an excellent experience. The food was fresh and delicious. What really stood out was the outstanding service from our server, Samir Branijao. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and fast, making sure we always had everything we needed without ever having to ask. His professionalism and positive attitude made our breakfast even more enjoyable. If you’re staying at the Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach, I highly recommend having breakfast at Sessions. Great food paired with exceptional service from Samir made for a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be back!” — Deana M., 5 stars

"Gator, Ely, Rita, front desk, Caroline in Rock shop, Henri, Taylor, and the amazing Alexus all are superstars. Gator went above and beyond on every interaction, Ely made sure my toast and Jam discounts applied,Rita assisted in getting a new amp up to my room. Front desk, bellman were all great! Alexus did my rockin mani pedi was fun but serene. Then she gave me my face the music facial and absolute amazing experience. The spa serene and lovely Henri saved the trip by selling me lotion to get me out of pain. Logan gives a great massage. Rooms are clean well cared for. I used every amenity I could. Made the trip more enjoyable music in the shower the sound of your stay touched lovely."

Parked the car and took our luggage to the room. It was there by the time we checked in. The check in process was smooth. Everyone was so kind. Our room was awesome and spacious. Booked a balcony king with sofa. Didn't feel cramped. The restaurant Sessions has amazing food. Price wasn't bad. Kris the bartender/waitress was fantastic and very personable. The pool was warm which I don't know it would be.. The hot tub was big and comfortable. We always take a little mini vacation at Christmas time hence we live in Florida. Was going to stay at the Hilton but they are over priced. Glad I changed my mind and stayed at the Hard Rock. The only thing I wish was different was the coffee/snack bar. They are only open from 7-12. Wish it was past 12 to order pizza!! But that's ok."

Food is tasty and they always offer healthy alternatives. Everything is more then we can ask for and the management goes above and beyond your expectations. When your looking for luxury look no further. We use to do all our own events but not any longer, as we plan to host more events at the HardRock simply because they make it too easy. We will definitely use them again and even more often. Lots to do and in a prime location, the Beach is very close as well is the Daytona 500. Can't say enough good things. Thank you Hard Rock Staff and Management for all the great memories and taking care of us always"
