André Balazs Dark Hotel Secret

Where: 35 Shore Road [map], Shelter Island, Long Island, NY, United States, 11965

Looks like asking you folks to join the HotelChatter Flickr Pool yesterday did us some good. We got a bunch of new photos which we plan on posting this week, starting with this set from Flickr member Lucifer Bumps. So c'mon in and get your hotel photos published.

When we think of André Balazs our first thought tends to be uber-successful hotelier (Uma Thurman comes in a close second.) The QT and Mercer in New York, The Standard in Miami, all get high marks from the Hotel Mavens, and Miami's Raleigh Hotel is one of our personal favorites--all these hotels are AB Hotels.

But André has another little-known property out on New York's Shelter Island called Sunset Beach and judging from these pictures, it's clear why Sunset Beach isn't promoted as heavily as the other AB properties, it isn't in their league. We have come to expect a certain level of excellence from AB Hotels, but according to our tipsters, that level is missing at Sunset Beach.

More pictures after the jump.
