It was lights, cameras and plenty of action at the 2016 Hamptons International Film Festival and c/o The Maidstone Hotel was in the middle of it all. The Scandinavian-inspired boutique hotel was the headquarters of the festival and hosted a bevy of creative individuals, from actors to producers to writers to filmmakers. The hotel was the starting line for test drives with the newest BMW automobiles and hosted a daily breakfast for the media.

“It was a weekend of powerful films that covered important topics such as the environment, our political climate, small town politics and religious constraints and ways to get out of them, among many other things. And then we topped it off with cocktail parties in our garden where the creative minds met to celebrate our love of movies and the importance thereof in this day and age, when this is a prime way to reach people,” said c/o The Maidstone Hotel owner Jenny Baker. “The Maidstone is proud, honored and privileged to be a part of it.”

Among those attending events at c/o The Maidstone Hotel were:  Alec Baldwin, Holly Hunter, Anthony Bourdain, Dakota Fanning, Aaron Eckhart, Mariska Hargitay and Edward Norton.
There is still an abundance of exciting events at c/o The Maidstone Hotel during the fall and winter seasons, according to Baker.

The hotel features special rates through the end of November with their Fall Harvest package as well as a Thanksgiving holiday package with or without a decadent dinner. The Living Room bar and Cozy Lounge offer a great haven for Happy Hour and Yappy Hour where guests and their pooch can unwind after a busy day. The hotel will also be participating in Long Island Restaurant Week from October 30-November 6 with a sumptuous three-course dinner for $27.95 at their renowned Living Room restaurant, where they adhere to the slow cooking movement with a Scandinavian twist.
