The Chequit returns to its glory days of being the centerpiece of the Heights on Shelter Island.
An extensive renovation in 2015 consisted of 31 brand new guestrooms each appointed with luxurious amenities like new bathrooms, restored hardwood floors, custom mattresses topped with luxury bedding. The design harks back to the golden age of vacationing on Shelter Island at the turn of the last century interpreted in a modern fresh way. For an alternate experience guests can choose Summer House at The Chequit, our quaint 6-room cottage that has been lovingly restored and offers seasonal accommodations in a historic setting at a great value.
Public areas include a breathtaking new lobby space that is the site of the inn’s signature rustic breakfast offering each morning. The space transforms in the early evening to a guest only wine and champagne lounge that also spills out onto the lushly appointed porches surrounding the lobby.
Also on property is the seasonal White Hill Café on the main level featuring Jack's Stir Brew Coffee and delicious baked goods and sandwiches. Our retail store Salt Supply offers up unique wares for the home, beach and gifts many of which are made by independent artisans.
On the lower level of the hotel is Red Maple, serving seasonal rustic American menus of local fare perfect for casual dining either in a our spacious dining room or under the name sake maple tree in season on the terrace.
