Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront
Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront is a oceanfront hotels hotel in Oceanfront, Virginia Beach, located at 1201 Atlantic Ave. Marriott's design-forward Moxy brand on the boardwalk at 12th Street — check in at the bar, then hit the seasonal pool's two-story slide.
The boardwalk's design-forward alternative to the standard beach hotel: a seven-story, 134-room property built for Marriott's youth-oriented Moxy brand at 12th Street. Guests check in at the bar instead of a front desk, and "cozy and smart" bedrooms give way to vibrant, plugged-in social spaces that deliberately skip the conventional resort formula. The seasonal outdoor pool's two-story slide is a genuine rarity on the Boardwalk, and every one of the 134 rooms faces the ocean.
