The Hamptons is one of the most scenic regions in New York state for biking. If I had to pick one way to explore the beauty and bounty of the East End, I would venture off on two wheels. A great perk of staying at one of several Hamptons hotels is complimentary access to their own bikes.
Skip the busy traffic and parking woes by traveling through the charming towns and villages on a bicycle. Here is a selection of Hamptons hotels that offer complimentary bicycles for guests to use.
Baron’s Cove, Sag Harbor
Baron’s Cove on Water Street is just a few minutes’ walk away from the heart of historic Sag Harbor Village. This gorgeous, nautical inspired hotel has an onsite restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, saltwater pool just across from the marina, and complimentary tennis court sessions. Baron’s Cove also extends guests the opportunity to cruise around on their complimentary bicycles. Head to nearby Havens Beach or cross the bridge and explore the peaceful countryside of North Haven.
The Roundtree Hotel, Amagansett
The Roundtree is one of Amaganett’s newest hotels. Set just one mile from the beach and on the edge of Amagansett Village, this luxurious boutique hotel has just 15 modern and spacious guestrooms. The hotel features a health and wellness facility that offers yoga classes and beach amenities like umbrellas, beach towels, and chairs. Activities onsite include a picnic area, outdoor fireplace, a game room, ping-pong, and movie nights. Of course, The Roundtree has bikes available for exploring Amagansett and the gorgeous scenery south of the highway.
The Maidstone, East Hampton
The Maidstone is home to an eclectic collection of art and personality, filled with historical charm from their intimate bar and lounge to idyllic backyard garden. Each guestroom is individually designed and inspired by a Scandinavian luminary including author Karen Blixon and botanist Carl von Linné. In addition to coveted beach parking permits, an on-site restaurant, and pet friendly accommodations, The Maidstone offers complimentary use of their vintage-style bikes. Cycling to nearby Main Beach takes under ten minutes or take a left into the village for shopping and dining.

The Reform Club has everything and more that you would want in a Hamptons hotel. As one of the perfect places to stay for a summer retreat Out East, this luxurious boutique hotel set on five acres includes many thoughtful amenities like food delivery, a private garden, game room, and a fire pit for roasting s’mores in the evenings. The Reform Club also has a bike rack filled with white and navy cruisers. Ride into town to visit one of the many shops and gourmet restaurants or cycle to nearby Indian Wells Beach. Return to The Reform Club and sip a selection of fruit-flavored water or sip on a glass of chilled rose.

Topping Rose House is conveniently set just steps away from Bridgehampton Village’s Main Street. This luxurious boutique hotel offers a wide array of elegant amenities, like a complimentary seated breakfast at Jean-Georges, the onsite restaurant.
