How Does a Menage a Trois in the Hamptons Sound For Valentine's Day?

Where: 207 Main St. [map], East Hampton, NY, United States, 11937

You, your lovah, and your dog. Not like that, mind.

Every Valentine's Day, we're inundated with crazy hotel packages that would require a Real Housewives-sized budget (and aren't all that inventive). So this week, we're taking a look at affordable, but fun deals that us regular folks would book.

Celebs like Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna and the entire Real Housewives of New York City cast would have you believe that the Hamptons is only a summertime destination, but the tony Long Island haunt for the rich and fabulous is a good spot to try all year round. Should you bring your lady love or man meat to East Hampton's c/o The Maidstone for Valentine's Day weekend, you won't have to fight your way through the star-stalking masses. Also, you can add your dog into the mix.

There's a Bit of a Tomato Obsession Going On at c/o The Maidstone

Where: 207 Main St. [map], East Hampton, ny, United States, 11937

The hotel that used to be East Hampton’s Maidstone Arms, has undergone a lot of changes rather quickly this past year. It is now owned and completely renovated by the Scandinavian c/o group, and is just called c/o The Maidstone.

One thing that’s slow about the hotel, though, is the new monthly Slow Food Spotlight Series kicking off in the hotel’s buzzed about (and heavily patterned) restaurant, The Living Room. Executive Chef James Carpenter will design each month’s menu around a particular food group designed to showcase local farms and seasonal produce.

Another New Luxe Hotel for the Hamptons

Where: 207 Main Street [map], East Hampton, ny, United States, 11937

Ah, thank goodness: we will have a Hamptons Hotel to gossip about this summer whose name does not rhyme with Smurf Smodge. Hooray!

The small Scandinavian Hotel group c/o (which we believe is said out loud as "care of") has gone into East Hampton and has snatched up the Maidstone Arms Hotel, totally renovated it and will re-open the property as c/o The Maidstone this summer — on May 19th, to be exact.

Promising "a unique hospitality lifestyle experience termed 'Scandinavian Cozy,' which involves the following:

The rooms are filled with Scandinavian antiques, an eclectic mix of decorative arts, luxurious spa-like bathrooms, the finest organic linens and the latest technology. A pair of freestanding cottages adorned with traditional stencils inspired by 17th century Kurbits paintings, will be available for even more exclusive stays. Curated images courtesy of non-profit charity Blind Spot will be displayed in rooms, public areas, and will be available for sale.
