East Hampton Village's charming Baker House 1650 is generally regarded by critics and guests alike as the most exclusive and luxurious small hotel in the Hamptons. From the ivy covered walls to the 200 year old wisteria and formal English gardens with terraces for al fresco dining, the feel is distinctly European. Less expected are state of the art amenities such as flat screen TV's, Bose CD players, and wireless internet. The large, beautifully furnished rooms with wood burning fireplaces, William Morris wallpapers, and Frette linens delight visitors, and the lavish bathrooms are enhanced by whirlpools and L'Occitane products. The outdoor infinity-edge pool, with teak chaises for sunbathing, is ideal for unwinding, and the Baker Spa, featuring a lap pool, massage area, steam shower, Jacuzzi and sauna, provides unparalleled luxury. In the summer, guests receive coveted East Hampton Village beach parking passes, as well as plush beach towels, umbrellas and chairs. The Baker House 1650 is ideally located on the village green, walking distance to the beach as well as world class shopping in the village center. East Hampton Airport (which can accommodate a G5) is a ten minute ride, and private helicopter transport is available from Manhattan.
