Andrew and Sarah Wetenhall — the visionary owners behind our iconic client, The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach — are delighted to announce their latest venture: the return of The Hedges Inn in East Hampton. Reopening its doors on 16th May, The Hedges marks the next exciting chapter in the Wetenhalls’ continued dedication to preserving and elevating storied American hospitality.
A beloved local landmark, The Hedges has long been a part of East Hampton’s heritage. Originally part of The Cumming Family estate, the inn is now poised for a thoughtful revival under the stewardship of the Wetenhalls, whose experience in restoring and operating The Colony Palm Beach has earned widespread acclaim. Most recently, The Colony was named to the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List and voted the #1 Hotel in Florida by Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards; testament to the family’s passion for preserving tradition while reimagining the guest experience.
Perfectly positioned with one foot on Main Beach and the other on Main Street, The Hedges offers guests the ultimate East Hampton village location. The Wetenhall family’s vision for the property is centered around intuitive, heartfelt hospitality, personalised service, and a warm, welcoming spirit that reflects the charm of the Hamptons.
Guests can expect a curated selection of The Colony’s most beloved amenities and partnerships, now reimagined for East Hampton. From thoughtful in-room details to bespoke seasonal programming, The Hedges will strike a unique balance between timeless elegance and playful nostalgia.
Dining at The Hedges will be a standout feature, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served daily. The culinary program will focus on locally sourced ingredients, partnering with top East End farmers and purveyors to celebrate the region’s bounty.
And in true Wetenhall style, the inn will also play host to signature game nights — think bingo, trivia, and more — adding a joyful, community-driven energy to the property’s relaxed and slightly irreverent spirit.
As summer approaches, The Hedges Inn looks forward to welcoming guests to rediscover one of East Hampton’s most treasured spots — now refreshed, reimagined, and ready for its next chapter.
