Long Island, East Hampton, New York
The Baker House 1650
Long Island's Baker House Spa affords their guests a special sanctuary for calming rejuvenation.
East Hampton, New York - The Baker House 1650 is generally regarded by critics and guests alike as one of the most
exclusive and luxurious small hotel in the Hamptons. From the ivy-covered walls to the 200-year old wisteria to the
large, beautifully furnished rooms with wood-burning fireplaces, the feel is distinctly European. The last thing one
would expect in a historic 1648 inn is a state-of-the-art spa facility, but this is what one finds on descending the
paneled staircase leading to the lower level. An endless swimming pool, a sauna, a steam shower, a Jacuzzi, a
changing room and a full bathroom comprise the spa and although it is modern in every aspect, it seems to have
always been there. The Baker House 1650 guests are invited to design their own spa experience combining massage,
facials, and purification. The Baker Spa is complimentary for all guests, who also have the opportunity to reserve the
spa for private use including Massages, Facials, and Purification. The Baker House 1650 is equipped with a variety of
amenities to ensure a relaxing and unforgettable experience for all visitors.

Selcuklu Evi Boutique Hotel
Situated in an area with panoramic views of rock hewn caves and the old village of Ürgüp.
Selcuklu Evi is a beautiful boutique hotel and a fine example of Seljuk architecture. This antique house has been
lovingly restored by hand. The local craftsmen of Ürgüp spent 2 years to complete the restoration. Each block was
quarried from the local area and then manually sculptured and leveled before becoming part of Selcuklu Evi. As much
as possible of the original house has been preserved, although many years of decay and erosion had left limited
resources. We have two rooms that can welcome group meetings. The capacity of each room is about 50 people.
Business meal can be organized upon request.
Accolades: Cappadocia Life and Travel guide: “... the most beautiful example of Seljuks stone structure art ...
Traditional Turkish culture is reflected in its decoration and hospitality, along with handmade quilts, carpets….”
