The American Hotel was built in 1846 at the height of the whaling era: a benchmark Long Island restaurant with an award-winning wine list, long known as the best place for the best cigars, the liveliest clientele and hub of cultural and political denizens. There are eight guest rooms, mainly appointed with American antiques. The hotel is in the heart of Sag Harbor within walking distance of all shops, restaurants, art galleries, a gymnasium, the harbor front and bay beach.
