HOTEL BUZZ: Montauk Beach House Revival

A classic Montauk motel has received a 7-million dollar modern makeover thanks to two local residents who have transformed it into the recently opened Montauk Beach House, a mecca for fashionistas and urban hipsters looking for a place to party on the weekends. Designed by Two Hats Bureau, the chic new hotel sports an eclectic mix of European style, blended with a relaxed beach vibe in keeping with the locale. With 33 stylish rooms, all with their own unique touches, guests can enjoy all the comforts of home with all the excitement of a world-class beach club right on your doorstep.

The beach club, Number 50, is exclusive to members and guests and offers 120 Cabana beds, two pools and poolside service to keep those cocktails flowing. Throughout the summer there will be live acoustic performances, DJ’s, fashion shows, movie screenings and art events for MBH guests. Number 50 also features an exclusive pop up shop from luxury women’s wear brand Minnie Rose, the brand’s first stand-alone store location.

Check in and choose from one of four room types: Poolside Ocean Mist, Whitewater Lofts, Whitewater Garden or Moonlight Suites. The rooms are comfortable, classic and uber-cool with muted grey tones and retro touches. Large cast iron beds anchor the rooms and crushed Italian Velvet drapes dress the wall of windows overlooking the pool and Beach Club. Claw foot bathtubs and exposed rain head showers with oil-rubbed bronze faucets and fixtures evoke a sensual feel as you wash away the sand and sea ready for a night of glamorous partying. In the hotel’s own humble words, it’s “A rather splendid place to stay the night.”

The hotel is now open through November 1st, extending its season longer than the typical Labor Day Hampton’s season. Rates start at $300 p/night. Visit The Montauk Beach House – 55 South Elmwood Ave. Montauk, NY 11954. For reservations call 631 668 2112 or email: info@thembh.com
