A Historic Waterfront Resort That Has Been Welcoming Guests for Over a Century

The Pridwin Hotel and Cottages is a classic American resort hotel that has been providing guests a unique experience on Shelter Island since 1927.

Unwind in elegant rooms or private cottages, rejuvenate at The Spa, and savor cuisine with stunning water views at The Terrace.

The Pridwin's 33 rooms and 16 cottages blend the resort's original 1920s charm with fresh, playful details like bold wallpapers, antique wicker, and vibrant fabrics. Private studio and two-bedroom cottages evoke a summer-camp feel, offering relaxed, refined stays with stunning Peconic Bay views.

Each morning at The Pridwin begins with a complimentary continental breakfast featuring an omelette station, fresh pastries, seasonal fruit, cereals, yogurt, coffee, and seasonal accompaniments. On-property dining options include The Terrace, where fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients meet stunning water views. The iconic Crescent Bar serves a range of classic cocktails and new twists, while the Osprey Nest bar offers poolside bites and refreshments. From casual lunches to elegant dinners, every meal at The Pridwin captures the relaxed charm of Shelter Island dining. Guests are also welcome to savor the flavors of The Pridwin from the comfort of their room with our convenient room service.
