Nestled by the water in Sag Harbor, Baron’s Cove offers a stylish retreat with nautical decor, a lively restaurant serving fresh seafood, and cozy amenities like a heated saltwater pool—perfect for soaking up the Hamptons vibe without breaking the bank.
"Baron’s Cove leans into the Hamptons lifestyle hard. If you don’t want to drop several million on a mansion, Baron’s Cove will give you a taste for the weekend. Located right along Sag Harbor cove, there’s a salt water pool in the summer, lounge chairs aplenty by said pool, and a preppy interior that looks like Ralph Lauren gave the decorator some tips. Guests can opt for a room that looks out onto the garden or the water. No matter where you stay, there will be nods to nautical design. With a full restaurant that services both guests and other visitors to Sag Harbor, you’ll never have to travel far for a meal here. But, this is the Hamptons, so prepare to shell out $25 for a breakfast sandwich or $26 for a lobster omelet at brunch. At dinner, opt for seafood options like the local catch of the day and a lobster caesar." - Alex Van Buren, Andrea Whittle, Devra Ferst
"Get a sweeping view of the bay and Sag Harbor marina from a perch on the second floor of one of the area’s chicest hotels, while munching on starters of crispy artichoke or housemate burrata with fig balsamic glaze. Move on to roasted chicken with grilled shishitos; mussels with white wine and saffron tomato broth; or stuffed red peppers with quinoa, blistered tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms. On weekends, live music ups the ambiance." - Beth Landman
"Baron’s Cove is described as a renovated and rehabbed motel with retro vibes. The hotel attracts all sorts of travelers — from hip couples to young families — for its upscale amenities such as a sparkling swimming pool, seasonal beach service, an on-site tennis court, and complimentary bike rentals so you can explore Sag Harbor in style.

Take your pick of 67 rooms and suites done up in whites, grays, and blues in homage to Sag Harbor’s nautical history and waterfront locale. For a worth-it splurge, consider one of the accommodations with private gardens or decks." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Located on the bay in the hopping town of Sag Harbor, the popular hotel has a heated pool, tennis courts, and a restaurant known for artful presentations of fresh local fare. Among chef Nick Vogel’s offerings are grilled swordfish with cannelloni beans, chili, and kale; cauliflower steak with crispy fingerlings and salsa verde; and lobster pappardelle with wild mushrooms and rosemary breadcrumbs. It’s also wonderful spot for breakfast or brunch." - Beth Landman
