Show Notes

In this episode, we’re joined by Elizabeth Bakhash, co-owner of Three Ducks Hotel—a new 12-room boutique hotel in Westhampton that's redefining the luxury Hamptons experience. With a rich background in branding and real estate, Elizabeth shares how she’s building more than just a hotel—she’s curating a guest experience rooted in nature, local partnerships, and a little bit of whimsy (yes, the ducks have names!).

We dive into:

  • Why less is more when it comes to amenities
  • The inspiration behind Three Ducks' brand and playful personality
  • Designing with intention—from "garden fresh interiors" to the flexible barn space
  • How her branding background shapes everything from the digital experience to the on-site details
