SHOU SUGI BAN HOUSE

Shou Sugi Ban House is a hidden paradise in the chic Hamptons. A small luxury hotel-spa with Zen architecture hidden in a one-hectare park, the place invites you to deeply disconnect and heals the body and soul. Everything is meticulously studied to guarantee the fullness of its guests: high-end minimalist decoration, spa providing the best holistic treatments and therapies, vegan food by a starred chef, etc. A sanctuary of well-being for a guaranteed resurrection.

Shou Sugi Ban House is located in the Hamptons, just two hours from New York, a region famous for its pristine beaches, sprawling farms, vineyards and luxury villas. It is in this idyllic setting that Amy Cherry-Abitbol had the vision of opening a temple dedicated to reconnecting with nature and one's true self. Opened in May 2019, the property is built around a minimalist architectural concept with wabi-sabi influences and natural accents.

Clean aesthetic and conscientious choice of materials, the color palette focuses on monochrome tones predominantly stone and biscuit colors. The hotel is located in a park whose landscape architecture is inspired by local dunes and Japanese gardens, and in which you stroll through winding paths decorated with water points and abundant vegetation.

"Shou Sugi Ban House, a Japanese architecture conducive to introspection. Natural tones and materials promoting inner calm."
