Your Slice of Southampton

A great place to get away

Welcome to the “original” Hampton, where secluded shorelines, charming sights, and art and artists abound. Since its founding in 1640, Southampton has played home to many actors, athletes, and business magnates. In 1955, the Atlantic took up residence alongside Peconic Bay, just steps from the world-famous Shinnecock golf course and under the restorative Hamptons sun. Today, we’re proud to be the only hotel in town and your gateway to everything the area has to offer.
