Summer in the Hamptons is never just about where you’re going—it’s about where you’re staying. And this year, East End hospitality is undergoing a chic reinvention. A new generation of reimagined hotels is shaking off the dust of decades past and injecting a breath of modern luxury into the coastal escape scene. Whether you’re into wellness weekends, barefoot glamour, or countryside-inspired calm, these fresh stays promise a more stylish, soulful kind of summer.
Seven Beach Lane, Westhampton: A victorian gem, reimagined for the modern glam traveler.
Seven Beach Lane may have quietly opened its doors in late summer 2024, but this season marks its first full foray into Hamptons high society. Housed in a restored 1885 Victorian home just a mile from Rogers Beach, the 16-room boutique hotel delivers heritage charm with high-end polish. Inside, the design pairs architectural authenticity with an effortlessly luxe aesthetic—think bold statement lighting, vintage mirrors, and a touch of Parisian nonchalance.
The hotel’s namesake restaurant is a culinary love letter to Long Island’s bounty, with a menu celebrating seasonal produce and elegant simplicity (the cavatelli with baby artichokes and chanterelles is already a signature). Health-forward amenities abound, including a cold plunge, infrared sauna, and fully equipped gym. This is the kind of place where your Cartier bangles feel right at home—preferably as you lounge poolside, glass of Languedoc rosé in hand.
Rooms from $749/night
Offshore Montauk, Montauk: Minimalist luxury meets wellness in Montauk’s latest transformation.
The once-underwhelming Sands Motel has been completely reimagined into Offshore Montauk, a tranquil, wellness-focused retreat by Enduring Hospitality co-owner Marley Dominguez. This 43-room destination opens its doors in June 2025 with an aesthetic that’s all about quiet luxury—neutral palettes, organic textures, and sweeping ocean views that do the talking.
Amenities include a full mini-spa featuring red-light therapy, a resort-style pool, and a prime oceanfront location that promises total escapism. Arrive on a Friday morning to beat the crowds and snag a private outdoor terrace or lounge area. It’s the kind of spot where you can finally finish that novel—or start writing your own.
Rooms from $700/night
The Sagaponack, Sagaponack: Family-friendly, pet-approved, and freshly polished for summer.
A $4 million renovation has turned the former Wainscott Inn into The Sagaponack, a nautical-chic enclave tailor-made for stylish families and weekenders alike. The refreshed 30-room hotel features coastal blues, natural textures, and airy interiors that reflect Sagaponack’s laid-back elegance. Pets are welcome (with gourmet treats from Hamptons Barkery, naturally), and families are supported with baby gear and on-demand sitting services.
For those seeking privacy, nine standalone bungalows are tucked into discreet corners of the grounds, offering solitude between yoga classes, croquet matches, and e-bike explorations of the coast. The Sagaponack blends charm and convenience with a breezy confidence—offering complimentary snacks, beach passes, and that always-elusive sense of calm.
Rooms from $599/night
The Three Ducks, Westhampton: Westhampton’s quiet renaissance starts here.
What was once the uninspired Seabreeze Motel is now The Three Ducks, a 12-room escape that captures the rustic charm of the Hamptons’ lesser-hyped village. Under the direction of new ownership and a shared general manager with Topping Rose House, this property opts for understated charm over flashy indulgence. The surrounding meadows have been transformed into whimsical gathering spaces, while each room boasts its own outdoor seating area.
Breakfast is served in a newly built barn, setting the tone for a more grounded kind of luxury. Group activities like bird-watching and flower arranging replace the usual DJ sets and spritz-soaked brunches. Hop on one of the hotel bikes and head for the dunes at sunset, or cozy up around the communal fire pit and trade stories with fellow guests.
Rooms from $795/night
Montauk Yacht Club, Montauk: A legendary marina reimagined for the barefoot jet set.
After a sweeping multimillion-dollar renovation, Montauk Yacht Club reclaims its place as one of the Hamptons’ most iconic stays. The 232-slip marina, the largest in the area, is once again buzzing with energy. On land, 107 refreshed guest rooms now serve as the ultimate home base for sun-drenched weekends, complete with access to an outdoor padel court, on-site Sisley Paris spa pop-up, and the ever-glamorous Ocean Club Restaurant helmed by Chef Jarad McCarroll.
And that’s not all. A new collaboration with Michael Kors has birthed the “Jet Set Package,” an over-the-top experience featuring a chef’s table dinner, private sunset cruise, signature massage, and a weekend bag packed with luxe essentials. For those who come to the Hamptons to see and be seen, this is the ultimate ticket.

Final Check-In: New energy, same coastal charm
From chic restorations to wellness-forward reinventions, the Hamptons’ hotel scene is entering a new era—one that values personal connection, polished comfort, and thoughtful design. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a family-friendly retreat, or a solo getaway with a side of red-light therapy, there’s a perfect room waiting for you east of the city.
So trade your old standby for something a little fresher. Just don’t forget your sunhat—and maybe a pair of Cartier shades, too.
