The lobby doubles as an informal clubhouse with a cassette library, while the central lawn hosts yard games and evening firepits.
“To convert the old motor court into a cool summer weekend escape, Ward + Gray drew on the area’s surfing heritage…”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Ward + Gray evokes 1960s coastal ease through grasscloth wallcoverings, unlacquered brass, nautical fixtures, and in-room cassette players.

Listed
Complimentary cruiser bicycles and dedicated Sunset Beach access connect guests directly to Montauk Harbor and the surrounding waterfront.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Hotel Corduroy distills the Montauk stay down to what people actually come for: easy beach access, afternoons on the lawn, bikes instead of cars...
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set on the quiet bay side, cruiser bikes take you directly to Sunset Beach, local fishing docks, and harbor seafood shacks.
The rooms
Grasscloth wraps the walls and ceilings, joined by reeded bamboo bedside tables, rattan consoles, and in-room cassette players paired with speakers.
How it began
A low-slung 1983 motor court formerly known as Sunset Montauk was reimagined across its three original buildings into a relaxed seaside escape.
“reimagines the classic surf motel for today’s traveler, blending contemporary design with an easy, nostalgic nod to 1980s surf culture”
