Surf Lodge: A decidedly down-tempo summer retreat, The Surf Lodge is the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy the good life—or secretly stalk Top Chef hunk Sam Talbot. A one-stop-shop from the owners of Cain and GoldBar, this 32-room hotel is decked out with a restaurant, bar, deck, boutique, and hair salon (where you can prep for any Sam Talbot sightings). Located on the farthest point of Long Island in Montauk, the hotel has hammocks overlooking the water, and elite suites have hot tubs. Sip a frozen cocktail at the outdoor bar while listening to live music (Julian Marley performed Memorial Day weekend) or grab a locally grown, fresh bite in the restaurant helmed by Sam Talbot. (Did we mention him already?) True to its name, Surf Lodge comes complete with white walls, sun-bleached wood flooring, and beach-themed artwork. The luxurious space is, of course, not without Hamptons attitude and prices. |
