The best new and updated Hamptons hotels for 2025
If you've grown bored of the same old, same old Hamptons getaways, get your Ginza flip-flops from The Row ready. A new generation of makeovers is infusing some fresh energy and carefree style into the scene this season.
From the total overhaul of Westhampton's divey Seabreeze Motel into the lush Three Ducks Hotel, to the reimagining of the run-down Sands Motel into the wellness-focused Offshore Montauk, these jitney-friendly escapes beckon you to book a room and perfect your 'dark bohemian' deportment just in time for Memorial Day. Floppy hats and flowy coverups required.

Though it technically opened late last summer, Seven Beach Lane debuts its first full season this June — and it was worth the wait. Set just a mile from Rogers Beach and the coastal-cool shops on Main Street, the restored 1885 Victorian houses 16 rooms and suites, a namesake restaurant that emphasizes locally sourced cocktails and cuisine (order the cavatelli with baby artichokes and chanterelles, but don't skimp on the housemade bread) and a full suite of fitness offerings, including a gym, an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. The vibe is decidedly glam, so don't be shy: Dust off those Cartier baubles and make your French bob BIG. You never know who that silver fox sipping a glass of Languedoc rosé at his poolside daybed might be. Rooms from $749; Seven Beach Lane
5 Offshore Montauk has a new wellness-focused, bare-bones aesthetic.

In what appears to be a trend, Montauk's old Sands Motel is shaking off its tired image in exchange for a wellness-focused, bare-bones aesthetic. Marley Dominguez, co-owner of upstart Enduring Hospitality, unveils his approach to laid-back luxury at the tip of Long Island this June, hoping to capture some of the boho-chic clientele who in recent years decamped to nearby Shou Sugi Ban House or Gurney's. He's giving them good reason to make haste to this 43-room escape, starting with a resort-like pool and extending to the red-light therapy in the mini-spa and breezy setting right on the Atlantic. Come on a Friday morning before the madding crowds and secure an outdoor space — a private terrace, a lush lounge area — all your own, quiet enough to read an actual book. Rooms from $700; Offshore Montauk
5 The Sagaponack is completely rebranded and redesigned.

The hotel formerly known as the Wainscott Inn is now The Sagaponack, completely rebranded and redesigned for its first full summer of operations. Among the upgrades that $4 million afforded the old bolt-hole: a full renovation of the 30 guest rooms and lobby, all outfitted in nautical-chic blues and whites; family- and pet-friendly premises, including organic treats from the Hamptons Barkery for Fido and baby gear and sitting services for Little Debbie; and resort-style amenities, like beach passes, e-bikes and a stocked pantry for grab-and-go (gratis!) snacks. Privacy-seekers can book one of nine bungalows and withdraw to their discreet personal retreat, emerging only for yoga and meditation classes held near the outdoor heated pool or a game of croquet on the expansive lawn. Rooms from $599; The Sagaponack

5 Three Ducks has new owners and a fresh outlook.
Three Ducks Westhampton
The sleepy suburban village has finally gotten the reboot it deserves, starting with the total overhaul of the downtrodden Seabreeze Motel. With new owners and a fresh outlook, the midcentury hostelry has emerged with wildflower meadows that double as gathering spots, outdoor seating areas for each of the 12 guest rooms and a stripped-down aesthetic that lets the natural beauty of the beach community sparkle. Though it shares a general manager with Bridgehampton's see-and-be-seen Topping Rose House, don't expect such flash here: Breakfast is served in the newly constructed barn and group activities are less Champagne toasts and more bird-watching and flower-arranging classes. Grab a bike and cruise to the dunes for sunset or take a seat by the communal firepit and make lifelong friends. Rooms from $795; Three Ducks

5 Montauk Yacht Club underwent a tip-to-toe multimillion-dollar renovation.

The largest marina in the Hamptons reopens for a full season this summer after a tip-to-toe multimillion-dollar renovation that touched everything from the Ocean Club Restaurant, helmed by Executive Chef Jarad McCarroll, to the 16 inviting grassy acres. This summer, when you're not vying for a slot at the padel courts or an invitation onto one of the superyachts strutting their stuff in the 232-slip marina, scurry from one of the 107 guest rooms to the Sisley Paris pop-up spa that takes over the Floating Water Cabana Spa. Along with the brand's cult-favorite facials, you can score your skin's summer essentials on-site — thus eschewing the 30-minute drive to the nearest Bluemercury in East Hampton. The other big news among erstwhile regulars is that Michael Kors has teamed up with the barefoot-chic retreat for a Jet Set Package that includes an off-menu chef's table dinner, a private sunset cruise aboard the hotel's boat, a massage and a signature weekend bag to secret those Aesop toiletries back home. Rooms from $799; Montauk Yacht Club

‘Mary Poppins' lawyer dresses like it's the 1800s with custom Victorian clothing and dip pens
She parties like it's 1899. Oregon's Adelaide Beeman-White is winding back the clock on haute couture by dressing like she stepped out of a time machine from the late 19th century. Instead of the usual suit, the 27-year-old associate attorney wears a handmade long skirt with puffed sleeves, a feathered hat and even a parasol, parroting the style of the 1800s Victorian era, Oregon Live reported. 'I'm stuck very solidly in about 1893 to '98,' the Hillsboro resident told the outlet of her Victorian-core style. 'I love that period primarily because the clothing is the best.' 4 'The speed of modern life has bothered me for as long as I can remember,' said Beeman-White. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram Beeman-White, who regularly shares photos of her retro ensembles on Instagram, also rocks leather gloves and a chatelaine, a decorative metal belt outfitted with accessories from fingernail clippers to a coin purse like a wearable Swiss Army Knife. Unfortunately, the 19th-century cosplayer is not allowed the aforementioned couture in court. Like a super hero with a secret identity, the Oregonian rocks a separate normal outfit for the judge, which comprises a comparatively staid plain, black J. Crew blazer. Her style could perhaps be compared to Cottagecore — a lifestyle and fashion trend that romanticizes a slower, simpler time, a la 'Little Women' or 'Little House on the Prairie' — but for the 1800s. 4 Beeman-White even lights her house with oil lamps. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram The Victorian lifestyle isn't just cosmetic — it's a way of a life. Beeman-White also acts the part by lighting her bedroom with oil lamps and sewing and mending her own clothing from vintage fabrics — a process she documents for her over 20,000 followers on Youtube. The old-school litigator even wrote to AAA with a dip pen and ink when it came time to renew her membership. This 19th-century fascination began in the sixth grade, when the Pacific Northwesterner traded in her jeans for a skirt, which kept getting longer and decked out in lace as time went on. 4 'I'm stuck very solidly in about 1893 to '98,' Beeman-White declared. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram 4 Beeman-White started partaking in Victorian-core in the sixth grade. Adelaide Beeman-White/Instagram 'The speed of modern life has bothered me for as long as I can remember,' said Beeman-White, whose fascination conversely lay with the past. She was especially fascinated with Queen Elizabeth I. 'I think she just really admired Queen Elizabeth and saw her as a really powerful woman and feminine figure,' recalled her mother Harriet Beeman, a therapist. 'She led the military and did all these things that men would've done, that women hadn't really been doing. That was part of it.' By early high school, Beeman-White dove headfirst into the role and was even a 'celebrity' in her neighborhood with local residents comparing her to 'Mary Poppins,' per her mother. Why did she choose to live her life like the 1800s? Beeman-White explained, 'The technological discoveries and advancements that are happening from 1890 to 1910, that would've been one of the most exciting periods to be alive.' Although the lawyer clarifies that she loves the reforms of the era — ie. labor unions, woman fighting for the right to vote — and not the 'oppressive and repressive and cruel policies and things that were going on at that time.' But Beeman-White is not just wallowing in the nostalgia and conversely suggests that a Victorian pace of life benefits the mind. 'We need to take our time with things,' she said. 'Focus on actually enjoying life. It's very bad for people psychologically to be rushing around not taking time to smell the flowers.'

Sofia Richie Grainge dramatically cuts off her hair for a short French bob
Move over, long locks — Sofia Richie Grainge has officially entered the chic world of jaw-grazing bobs, and we're absolutely here for it. The daughter of Lionel Richie stunned fans with a fresh "French bob" debut on Instagram, documenting the dramatic chop right from her luxe South of France getaway at Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc. Quelle surprise! Gone is the era of sleek buns and whisper‑soft waves. Instead, Sofia's new chin‑length 'do is razor‑sharp, subtly textured, and effortlessly Parisian. "She was nervous, but super excited," London hairstylist and the genius behind the look, George Curran shared with Vogue. Like us, friends, fans and followers of Sofia were just as shocked at the debut, taking to the comments section of her post to share their thoughts (which, included praise from none other than Vanessa Hudgens, may I add...). And not only that, but her husband Elliot gave it two enthusiastic thumbs‑up in her TikTok video documenting the chop. "I think it's really really pretty — it's like...'90s New York,'" he said. Get you a hubby who hypes you up like Elliot hypes up Sofia. #CoupleGoals. Far from a subtle trim, Sofia has lost around six inches of hair, making this French bob a dramatic transformation, to say the least. The style itself is a textbook example of a 'clean‑girl' transformation: minimal effort, maximal impact. Think bold, blunt ends with just enough texture to catch the light — and wind — in all the right ways. And with that, you best believe I'll be taking Sofia's IG post as a reference pic to my hairstylist ASAP. Bobs, here we all come! Follow Lia on Instagram.

Summer travel forecast to shatter records for Fourth Of July — here's how many Americans will be on the move
There's going to be a real tournami. The American Automobile Association predicts that a record number of Americans will travel across the country over the July 4th holiday week from Saturday, June 28 to Sunday, July 6. During that period, 72.2 million people will reportedly journey at least 50 miles from home — an increase of 1.7 million travelers compared to last year and 7 million more than in 2019, per the forecast. 'Following Memorial Day's record forecast, AAA is seeing strong demand for road trips and air travel over Independence Day week,' said Stacey Barber, Vice President of AAA Travel. 'The top 10 heaviest travel days in TSA history have all happened within the past year, and we expect to see more heavy volumes this summer,' said Kristie Jordan Smith, a TSA official at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) milanmarkovic78 – Indeed, a record 62 million travelers will be commuting by car over Independence Day weekend, marking an uptick of 1.3 million from last year. Meanwhile, the number of air travelers is also 'projected to set a new record,' per the autoclub, which expects that 5.84 million travelers will jet to their destinations — 8% of all July 4 travelers. That marks a 1.4% increase over the previous record of 5.76 million during Independence Day week of last year. Coney Island beach in New York, which is the third biggest July 4 destination this year, according to AAA booking data. Stock fresh – According to AAA booking data for the July 4 travel period, the top three domestic destinations are Orlando (FL), Seattle (WA), New York, (NY) while internationally the most US travelers are flocking to Vancouver (Canada), Rome (Italy) and Paris (France). 'Cruises, beaches, and fireworks are the main motivators for travelers heading to these cities,' AAA writes. 'Alaska cruises are in peak season, Florida and Hawaii are in high demand for their resorts and attractions, and New York and Boston host two of the most popular fireworks shows in the nation.' AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz claimed that the expected travel surge is as much an 'emotional decision' as it is a practical or economic one. 'People don't have to spend a lot of money when they go on these trips, but people want to get away and not be home,' she said. The Transportation Security Administration is bracing for the tournami. 'The top 10 heaviest travel days in TSA history have all happened within the past year, and we expect to see more heavy volumes this summer,' said Kristie Jordan Smith, a TSA official at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), CBS reported. Airport officials are hoping to curb the congestion by implementing facial recognition technology. Customs officials claim that wait times are already down 25% thanks to this expeditious tech, which is now operational at nine flight hubs across the country.
