The Baker House

The Baker House 1650, the historic luxury boutique hotel in the heart of East Hampton Village, has once again been recognized by Condé Nast Johansens, winning the 2027 Award for Excellence for Best House, Villa or Residence in the North America (USA and the Caribbean) category. The latest honor marks the second consecutive year that the property, owned by hospitality entrepreneur Antonella Bertello, has received recognition from the international luxury travel guide.

The award was announced during the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence ceremony at the Montcalm Mayfair in London on November 2nd, 2026. It follows The Baker House 1650's 2026 distinction as Best House, Villa or Serviced Apartment in North America, further establishing the East Hampton landmark's standing among the region's notable independent luxury accommodations.

 For Antonella, whose vision for The Baker House 1650 combines historic preservation with personalized hospitality, the consecutive awards represent an acknowledgment of the experience she and her team have cultivated at the property. With its distinctive English manor architecture, intimate accommodations and private gardens, the hotel has become a destination for visitors seeking the atmosphere of a country estate within walking distance of East Hampton Village.

"To receive this recognition for a second consecutive year is a tremendous honor, particularly because hospitality is ultimately about the people and experiences that make every stay memorable," said Antonella Bertello, owner of The Baker House 1650. "We have always wanted our guests to feel that they are staying in a beautiful private home rather than a conventional hotel. This award reflects the dedication of our entire team to preserving that special atmosphere while continuing to offer the highest standards of personal service."

 Dating to 1650, the property draws inspiration from the architecture and traditions of the English Cotswolds, with period furnishings, exposed wooden beams, inviting fireplaces and architectural details that recall the character of a historic country manor. Its carefully maintained English gardens, outdoor swimming pools and private terraces provide a secluded setting just moments from the boutiques, restaurants, cultural attractions and beaches of East Hampton.

The Baker Spa adds another dimension to the guest experience, offering an intimate wellness retreat featuring a sauna, steam facilities, an air tub and heated indoor pool. The hotel's main house and adjoining carriage house provide individually appointed accommodations, combining historic charm with contemporary comforts and personalized attention.

 Beyond its accommodations, The Baker House 1650 has also become part of East Hampton's social and cultural landscape, welcoming intimate receptions, private celebrations and gatherings connected to the area's philanthropic, artistic and cultural communities. Its distinctive atmosphere allows guests to experience the Hamptons throughout the year, from the energy of the summer season to the quieter appeal of autumn and winter.

 The Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence recognize outstanding independent luxury hotels, spas and hospitality properties across international destinations. Winners are determined through a combination of guest reviews, public voting and evaluations by the organization's local experts, making the awards a reflection of both professional assessments and guest experiences.

 With consecutive honors in 2026 and 2027, and previous accolades in 2024, 2023, 2021 and 2020, The Baker House 1650 continues to demonstrate that the appeal of a historic Hamptons property lies not only in its architecture and setting but also in the personal approach to hospitality that has defined its reputation under Bertello's ownership.
