The Bentley Hotel Southampton
A saltwater pool in central Southampton
About this hotel
The Bentley Hotel Southampton centres its stay around a saltwater swimming pool, a rarer feature on this stretch of the East End, set within a sun terrace and lush garden that give the property a resort feel despite its practical two-star pricing. A 24-hour front desk, concierge service and daily housekeeping cover the essentials for a multi-night stay, and free on-site private parking removes one more line item from the trip. Splish Splash sits roughly 27 kilometres away, with Montauk Point Lighthouse a further 40 kilometres east, positioning this hotel as a Southampton base for guests splitting their time between the water park and the wider Hamptons coastline throughout a multi-night stay.

Our take
The saltwater pool and central Southampton setting suit a guest who wants a town base with genuine amenities rather than a roadside motor inn, and the concierge service adds a layer of service uncommon at this price point. It is a longer drive to Splish Splash, so plan the water park as one day within a broader Hamptons stay.
- ✓Ask the concierge about beach parking permits before a Cooper's Beach or Rogers Beach day trip from the hotel.
- ✓Book early for peak summer weekends, when Southampton's central hotels fill faster than Riverhead's park-adjacent options.
- ✓Use the saltwater pool as your default evening swim rather than driving back toward Splish Splash after a long day.

Why guests love itA family based in Southampton for a long weekend finds the saltwater pool becomes the daily default, used most evenings after the roughly 27-kilometre drive back from Splish Splash. The concierge desk helps plan a beach day at Cooper's Beach or Rogers Beach without much research needed, and the central location keeps most errands within a short walk of the hotel itself.
