### Seasonal Closure Announcement
The Chequit, a prominent hotel situated at 23 Grand Avenue in Shelter Island Heights, has officially declared its seasonal winter closure, set to commence on November 2, 2025. The hotel, known for its charm and appeal, plans to reopen in April 2026, aligning with the traditional flow of seasonal tourism in the region. A representative from the Soloviev Group, which manages the hotel, explained that the decision reflects the natural rhythm of travel on the East End, emphasizing that this winter closure allows the hotel to prepare for a welcoming return of guests in the spring and summer seasons.
### Impact on Staff and Operations
In light of this seasonal pause, hotel and restaurant personnel have been informed of the closure, and efforts will be made to retain staff wherever feasible. The management is committed to supporting its employees through this transition, ensuring that those affected can find opportunities within the organization or elsewhere during the winter months.
Despite the temporary closure of the hotel, The Chequit will continue to serve the community through its Soda Fountain and Gift Shop, both of which will operate throughout the winter. These establishments are set to feature an expanded menu and extended hours to cater to both local patrons and winter visitors. This initiative reflects the hotel’s dedication to remaining an active part of the Shelter Island community, even during the off-peak season.
### Reservations and Inquiries

Guests with any inquiries regarding their bookings or the seasonal operations are encouraged to reach out directly via email at info@thechequithotel.com or by phone at 631-749-0445. This proactive approach aims to ensure that guests can easily secure their stays well in advance of the bustling spring season.
