So big deal you weren’t invited to cruise on P Diddy’s yacht in St. Barths this winter. And the airfare and hotel rates that could pay for a down payment on a new car rule out a weekend in Aspen. You need to get away from the sounds of the city, the stresses of work and the struggle of everyday life and enjoy the quiet season in Southampton, the fabled playground of the rich and famous with a weekend stay at the landmark Southampton Inn where everyone from Rudy Giuliani to Gossip Girls stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick have laid their heads. The Southampton Inn is like a home away from home, right in the heart of the historic village of Southampton. The Inn offers inviting ambiance, service and convenience for travelers from both near and far in a setting closely surrounded by the town’s legendary sumptuous estates. And you can leave the car at home. The Inn will send their polka dotted van to pick you up at the train station or the Hampton Jitney stop for no charge. Everything is within walking distance – the best shops, movies, two major museums, - The Parrish Art Museum and the Southampton Historical Museum - Center Stage Theater at the Southampton Cultural Center and a number of wonderful restaurants and taverns. Just think you can curl up with a best-seller by the fireplace in their cozy library. Take a walk on five acres of manicured lawns, enjoy a brisk beach stroll, or browse the village boutiques, galleries, and museums in the charming village. Unwind with a glass of local wine at a winery tasting room, and enjoy a delicious dinner for two. There’s a lot you can do, or you can choose to do nothing at all when you take advantage of Southampton Inn’s Specials and Packages. That’s the cozy beauty of a Hampton's vacation in mid winter.
