36 Feb21324 The Modesty of True Luxury Situated in the village of East Hampton, The Baker House 1650 has made its name through offering a luxury that is sumptuous, yet casual in equal measure. Having achieved amazing success in LUXlife’s 2021 Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards where the hotel won 2021's Award for Excellence in: Luxury Accommodation - the USA, we thought it was time to dig into what set this impressive team apart from the competition. First constructed in 1648, The Baker House boasts a long and rich history, with the building seeing many changes and renovations over many, many years. The texture it has gained is just a small part of why people come to this charming establishment for rest and relaxation. It is somewhere that has been lived in, yet offers every amenity. While homely, the heritage of this large manor provides a majesty all its own. To sum up the appeal of The Baker House, one must think first of the classic English country houses, and how charming it would be to find one nestled in the heart of the Hamptons. For the discerning visitor, The Baker House is unique amongst the properties of the Hamptons, and the ideal destination to visit. Guests are invited to rest and relax within the beautiful English gardens, exploring the wonders that alongside impeccable maintained sweeping lawns.

Hidden behind vine-covered garden walls, you can feel the full force of history making personal memories that will stand the test of time. Perhaps one of the most distinct features that sets The Baker House apart is The Baker Spa. The relatively new addition features a counter- current pool, sauna, steam shower, soaking jacuzzi tub and changing room. While modern in every respect, it has been artfully designed to enhance the features of the original house. Far from a carbuncle on history, this addition flows naturally from what was there, blending seamlessly with the property. The Baker Spa is complimentary for all guests, who also have the opportunity to reserve the spa for private use, massages, facials and purification. The nature of this English-inspired property means that it is in high demand for weddings and large-scale events. 2021 will continue this trend as the team explore ways of providing safe places for these to take place. For many, a wedding day is the best day of their lives, and The Baker House go out of their way to ensure that as far as possible, their dreams can come true.

Their success when it comes to luxury accommodation comes not just from the heritage of the property, but by how the team have embraced the long arm of history and become a part of it themselves. With a mature approach, the nature beauty of The Baker House and its astonishing location is not only assured, but certain to be celebrated for years to come.
