## Summary

Topping Rose House, an 1842 mansion operating as a luxury hotel in Bridgehampton, is reportedly close to being sold after being quietly marketed for about $55 million. Sources say London private members’ club Maison Estelle may be involved, though neither the buyer nor the sale has been confirmed. The deal matters because the property is a prominent Hamptons destination, where private clubs have faced resistance from local residents.

The reported sale includes staff housing on nearby lots, and the hotel is owned by William Campbell; co-owner Simon Critchell died in May aged 80. Plans presented earlier this year proposed a year-long closure for an underground car park, a pool, spa upgrades and a new building that would double guest capacity, but it is not known whether they will proceed under a new owner. Maison Estelle has also agreed to rent space at Manhattan’s Limelight and recently reopened after closing in September; its Mayfair venue now reportedly shuts at 1.30 am.
