If a cozy winter getaway is calling, consider dropping anchor at The Maidstone Hotel, open year-round and freshly revamped from top to bottom by LDV Hospitality. The iconic East Hampton property boasts a buzzworthy Italian-inspired food and beverage program (think: inventive raw bar delicacies and luscious homemade pastas) helmed by chef Jorge Espinoza of Scarpetta acclaim. Furthering the appeal, a cosmetic refresh courtesy of designer Poonam Khanna brings a coastal, contemporary touch to the interiors, with whimsical lighting, breezy textiles and choice antique accents. Located in the heart of the village, there is plenty to do and see by foot or bicycle, the latter provided gratis by the hotel. But a fireside feast followed by a fabulous sleep on Frette linens makes a great case for staying in.
