The 15 Best Hotels in the Hamptons

The Hamptons are synonymous with the wealthy New York elite. Set on Eastern Island's Southern Fork, there are miles of beautiful stretches of beach, grand colonial houses, and thick forest. The region is also known for its world-class dining scene and lively nightlife. With so much to offer, it is unsurprising that there are a good number of hotels to choose from too. Although there are plenty of luxury offerings, this is not a completely exclusive destination. Our hotel experts have hand-selected the best hotels in the Hamptons with options ranging from chic boutiques to charming B&Bs or quiet beachside stays to properties with a lively nightlife scene. So why not browse through our list and start planning your city escape?
