THE 1770 HOUSE

What THE 1770 HOUSE does

The 1770 House is a privately held boutique luxury inn and fine dining restaurant operating from a 1770-built colonial structure at 143 Main Street in East Hampton Village, New York. The single-property business combines seven guest rooms (Georgica, Queen, Lily Pond, Fithian, Lady Dayton, Garden Room, and The Carriage House) with three distinct dining venues: the 40-seat candlelit Main Dining Room offering a $90 two-course prix fixe, the colonial Tavern with one of New York's last beehive ovens, and an Al Fresco garden patio under a fountain and twinkling lights. The restaurant serves seasonally driven contemporary American cuisine led by Executive Chef Michael Rozzi (appointed January 2013) and supports an award-winning wine program under Director of Hospitality Michael Cohen.

Revenue is generated through four streams: nightly inn accommodations, restaurant dining (dine-in and phone-order take-out), private events (weddings, corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations across all three spaces), and digital gift cards for both dining and inn experiences. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, with dining reservations managed through OpenTable and room bookings through ResNexus; there are no third-party delivery partnerships. Pricing is largely disclosed for dining menus, while room rates and private events require direct inquiry. The business targets affluent Hamptons travelers, fine-dining enthusiasts, event hosts, and high-profile individuals seeking discretion and historic authenticity.

The property's value proposition rests on 250+ years of hospitality heritage (built 1770 by Matthias Burnett, with eight generations of Dayton family ownership from 1795 and celebrity guests ranging from Clark Gable and Bette Davis to President Clinton and Yoko Ono), a continuously awarded wine program (Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since 2007), and long-tenured senior staff (General Manager Carol Covell, 20+ years). Marketing relies on organic Instagram, an email newsletter, press features in Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, Travel + Leisure, Food Network, and Wine Spectator, plus celebrity endorsements (notably Ina Garten). No public funding, M&A, or external ownership is disclosed; the company operates as an independent luxury hospitality establishment with no AI or proprietary technology stack.
