A SPOTLIGHT ON LUCY SWIFT LEMONIDES
Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 9 PM (Eastern) on AM 970: The Answer
Sun‑drenched mornings, linen curtains drifting in the breeze, hydrangea‑lined lanes, and that unmistakable East End ease — the kind of hospitality that makes summer in the Hamptons feel cinematic.
This week on Culinary Confidential, we welcome Lucy Swift Lemonides, boutique hotelier and the creative force behind A Room at the Beach in Bridgehampton. Known for its intimate scale, design‑forward sensibility, and quietly luxurious atmosphere, Lucy’s property has become a model for what modern boutique hospitality can be.
Her approach blends curated experiences, understated elegance, and a deep understanding of what today’s traveler craves: connection, calm, and a stay that feels personal rather than produced. From the shift away from mega‑resorts to the rise of intimate, thoughtfully designed escapes, Lucy shares how the Hamptons has evolved — and why boutique luxury is defining the new era of elevated travel.
Hosted by Christina Cates, a hospitality professional with over 20 years of experience in New York City’s restaurant industry, Culinary Confidential spotlights the people, ideas, and innovations shaping today’s food and beverage world. Her background at Tavern on the Green, The Palm, and Almond Tribeca brings depth and perspective to every conversation.
Whether you love luxury travel, beautiful spaces, or the magic of a perfectly considered stay, this episode captures the art — and allure — of summering out East.
Tune in Sunday, May 31, at 9 PM (Eastern) on AM 970 The Answer and the AM970 mobile app.
