Here are seven of the best hotels in Montauk for your next trip out East.

Gurney's Montauk
An iconic destination (and the only year-round resort in the Hamptons), Gurney’s offers pristine luxury on one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. The 146-room stands out among Hamptons hotels as one of the largest resorts in the area, and it also has the best beachfront location. The free spa facilities (including an indoor pool and Roman bath) are also a highlight. The rooms are contemporary and attractive, and many have stunning ocean views from private verandas. The elegant fine-dining restaurant is another can’t miss experience.

Sole East
A five-minute walk from Montauk’s village, this American Tudor-style hotel in Montauk is a summer hot spot that maintains an essence of “cool” without pretension. The 67 rooms and suites have a surf-chic vibe and appeal to the Manhattan set with amenities such as pillow-top beds, free Wi-Fi, and Aveda products. Though not directly on the beach, the hotel has beautiful grassy grounds that include daybeds, hammocks, fire pits, and an organic restaurant and bar. The outdoor pool -- with live music on weekends -- is popular, and the party scene has been known to carry on until the wee hours of the morning.

Montauk Manor
The majestic Tudor Revival building perched on a hilltop overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Gardiner’s Bay offers condo-style units, indoor and outdoor pools, a day spa, and more. An on-site Italian restaurant serves all meals, though with close proximity to the village’s center you might consider enjoying the bounty of local gastronomy.
