Sarah Wetenhall is the force behind two of America’s most iconic resort destinations: The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach and The Hedges Inn in East Hampton. As Owner and CEO of both properties, she has transformed each into a design- and community-driven landmark—a celebration of style, story, and sense of place.
A graduate of Vanderbilt University and a Midwest native, Wetenhall lived in more than six cities during her first twenty years, fostering a lifelong love of travel and storytelling. She lives in New York City and splits her time between Palm Beach and Sag Harbor, drawing inspiration from the communities she calls home. Those experiences have shaped her distinctive approach to hospitality—one that goes beyond accommodation to create vibrant, immersive experiences rooted in connection, culture, and community.
