What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The look is almost totally monochrome, with a bit of hardwood and some carefully curated plant life serving as accents.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set right on Front Street, the village shops, harbor docks, and the Shelter Island ferry are all within an easy walk.
The rooms
Monochrome interiors feature shiplap walls and pale wood accents, with deep soaking tubs in select rooms and stocked floor galleys.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The General Store Cafe
This lobby cafe pours For Five artisan coffee alongside fresh morning pastries and curated picnic provisions.
Like staying in a guest room at your tasteful, rich aunt’s beach house. The palette is black and white—sometimes with stripes—and always looks as though a fresh coat has been applied.
Bunker Bar
Wire sphere pendants hang above the poured concrete counter and black mohair banquettes in the ground-floor lounge.
At the table
The rooftop deck looks across Greenport Harbor toward Shelter Island, with lounge sofas set around evening firepits.
How it began
Standing on the historic Peconic House grounds, the property incorporates 19th-century whaling ship masts and artifacts unearthed during its 2018 construction.
“With only 16 rooms, this boutique hotel feels as personal as it gets, with fresh breakfast pastries and housemade cookie nightcaps delivered to your floor’s 24-hour accessible galley”
