As spring unfolded on the East End, the Southampton Inn welcomed Easter Weekend 2025 with its signature blend of coastal grace and small-town warmth—drawing in loyal locals, seasonal visitors, and first-timers alike. Tucked in the heart of Southampton Village and just a breezy stroll from the sands of Coopers Beach, the Inn once again proved its reputation as the Hamptons' go-to holiday retreat—especially for those who appreciate thoughtful hospitality with a side of seasonal tradition.
Guests checking in for the weekend were greeted by the unmistakable shift of seasons—daffodils lining the village lanes, crisp mornings giving way to sun-warmed afternoons, and a festive energy that filled the historic inn’s gardens and hallways. For many, it’s a yearly tradition; for others, a newfound escape that feels far removed from the everyday.
The Easter celebrations officially began Sunday morning, with children racing across the South Lawn for the 25th Annual Easter Egg Hunt—a spirited tradition that continues to bring generations together. Colorful eggs tucked into hedges and beneath trees promised candy and surprises, while the Easter Bunny held court for cheerful photos, laughter, and a few well-earned hugs.
The crown jewel of the weekend was the Easter Brunch at Claude’s Restaurant, where Southampton Inn’s newly appointed food and beverage team brought a refined yet inviting culinary touch. Diners indulged in an abundant buffet that showcased the best of spring’s bounty and local ingredients—from perfectly poached egg dishes and golden pancakes to smoked salmon, fresh fruit, and buttery house-made pastries.
Guests dining indoors enjoyed the cozy, sunlit charm of Claude’s, while others opted for al fresco seating on the patio, where gentle breezes and blooming garden views set the tone for a leisurely, luxurious morning.
Set against a backdrop of village charm and ocean air, the Southampton Inn once again demonstrated why it remains a favorite for holiday escapes on the East End. With its balance of casual elegance and curated experiences, the Inn has a way of making every guest feel part of something both special and enduring.
As families packed away Easter baskets and checked out with smiles and sun-kissed cheeks, the sentiment was clear: spring in the Hamptons starts here.
