Beach Insider: Montauk

Beach Insider: Montauk

Skip the Crowds at This Summer Getaway in The Hamptons

by Tyler Aposhian, General Manager of Ruschmeyers Hotel

With 5,000 acres of beaches and parks to explore, Montauk has long been a go-to island getaway for nearby New Yorkers seeking an escape from the city hustle. Head to this east coast paradise to experience the natural coastal beauty of the Hamptons, minus the crowds.

Best Beach

Typically I love the waves and enjoy hopping in at Kirk Beach (which is the first beach you hit when you come into town). However, things can get a little too busy there during the summer months. Other options are Ditch Plains Beach, a great place to catch a wave. Camp Hero State Park is great for fishing and wandering around.

Eat, Drink, Repeat

Montauket hotel and seafood restaurant is the spot for watching sunsets all summer long. Tuna melts at The Dock are a must.

Overnighter

I don't think much beats Ruschmeyers on Friday nights. After a sun-filled day at the beach, grab a Ruschmeyers cocktail (fresh watermelon juice, jalapeño and vodka), a hot-buttered lobster roll and sit under the lights in the magic garden. Play some ping pong, take a picture by the campfire and feel like a kid at camp again.

Long time no see, waldorfastorianyc. 👋🏻 After closing its doors for a top-to-bottom restoration in 2017, the iconic New York City hotel is finally unveiling its glamorous next chapter. Every aspect of the property has been reimagined for a new era—but the design stays true to the opulent Art Deco architecture, style, and craftsmanship that made the hotel one of the most famous in the world when it opened nearly a century ago. Safe to say we’ll be booking a stay ASAP.

There’s no shortage of great hotels in Tokyo, but the imperialhoteljapan occupies a special place in the city. Opened in 1890 as the first western-style hotel in Japan, it was redesigned by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1923, and then again 50 years later. Today, it’s every bit as glamorous as it’s always been—and is gearing up for its next chapter: a 10+ year-long reimagining (it will remain open throughout) in time for its 150th anniversary in 2040.

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.
