Conduct, Culture & Etiquette

Hampton House is not just a destination. It is a philosophy — a belief in refinement, in the power of shared moments, in the sanctuary of privacy, and in the elegance of living well.

Every detail, from the art on the walls to the food on the table, has been considered so that our members may experience a world apart from the ordinary. Yet, what truly makes Hampton House extraordinary is not its design or offerings, but its people — the members who bring it to life.

To belong here is to carry forward a tradition of respect, discretion, and celebration. The following standards are not simply rules but principles, carefully created to preserve the spirit of The House for all who enter.

Respect is the currency of belonging.

At Hampton House, the foundation of community is how we treat one another — members, guests, and staff alike. Every interaction should be marked by courtesy, warmth, and a sense of consideration. This expectation is not about formality; it is about ensuring that every person feels welcome, safe, and valued.

  • Courtesy as culture: Politeness, kindness, and thoughtful conversation are not optional — they are the essence of club life.
  • Zero tolerance for misconduct: Harassment, discrimination, aggressive language, or behavior that undermines another's dignity will not be accepted.
  • Respect for privacy: Members should never press for personal details, gossip, or disclose private conversations outside the House.
  • Having fun is always encouraged: being over-familiar or inappropriate is not. No fighting, no threatening conduct, no harassment of staff.

Why this matters: Respect transforms Hampton House into something greater than a place — it makes it a sanctuary. Here, one can relax without pretense, knowing they are among peers who value integrity, discretion, and dignity.

The House is a living environment, crafted with intention.

Every chair, every artwork, every finish was chosen to reflect beauty and refinement. The House is meant to be enjoyed — but it must also be protected.

  • Treat with care: Members and guests are expected to respect the property as if it were their own home.
  • Report concerns: Any damage, spills, or maintenance needs should be reported immediately to management.

Why this matters: The House belongs to all who are part of it. By caring for it, we ensure that it remains pristine and timeless — a place of pride and comfort for current and future members alike.

Members and guests must treat staff with the same respect and courtesy as fellow members. Directions to staff should always be delivered with politeness. Aggressive, demeaning, or inappropriate behavior toward staff will result in immediate review of membership standing.

Why this matters: Staff are integral to the experience of Hampton House. The way members treat staff reflects on the culture of the House itself.

Hampton House encourages a smart dress code and relies on its members to ensure their guests are appropriately dressed while visiting the House. Elegance is not about wealth; it is about intention. The House embraces style as an expression of respect — for oneself, for fellow members, and for the environment. Dressing thoughtfully elevates the atmosphere, reinforcing that Hampton House is a destination set apart from the ordinary.

  • Attire aligned with the occasion: Whether formal, business casual, or smart casual, members and guests should follow the dress code with care.
  • Refined over relaxed: Athletic wear, beachwear, distressed jeans, flip-flops, and overly casual clothing are reserved for elsewhere, not the House.
  • House discretion: Hampton House reserves the right to refuse entry or service to any member or guest whose behavior, attire, or condition is inconsistent with our standards, or if capacity limits require.

Why this matters: Presentation creates atmosphere. When members step into Hampton House, they enter an environment curated to feel rare and special. Attire is part of that experience, reinforcing the House as a setting where elegance is the norm.

In an always-connected world, the House is designed to be one of the rare places where disconnection feels luxurious.

  • Phones silent: Devices must remain on silent so the atmosphere is uninterrupted.
  • Calls restricted: Phone calls are permitted only in designated areas, never in shared spaces.
  • No unapproved recordings: Photography, filming, or recording is not allowed without management approval.

Why this matters: Hampton House is a retreat from the noise of the outside world. By removing digital interruptions, we create a space where conversation flows, music resonates, and presence — not distraction — defines the experience.

Any external food or drink is not allowed to be brought into or consumed in The House. This includes items such as packed lunches, snacks, or alcoholic drinks. The only exception to this is if there is a valid medical reason. If you or your guests are found abusing alcohol or drugs in The House, or behaving in a way that upsets other members, action will be taken.

  • Enjoy responsibly: Members and guests must consume alcohol with moderation and mindfulness. Excessive intoxication diminishes the spirit of the House.

Why this matters: Dining, drinking, and socializing are central to the experience of the House. But indulgence must never compromise comfort or elegance. Moderation preserves the vibrancy of the community while maintaining refinement.

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed inside The House at any time. Hampton House reserves the right to prohibit or limit smoking in any external area of The House premises at any time at its sole and absolute discretion. Hampton House reserves the right to designate certain outside areas of The House premises as smoking areas and to change the location of such areas at any time. However, all members and their guests are requested to respect the wishes of other members and their guests with respect to smoking, and to refrain from smoking when requested to do so.

● Private events are available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for both members and approved outside companies.

● Thursdays require at least a $20,000 food and beverage minimum. 

● Fridays and Saturdays require at least a $30,000 food and beverage minimum.Only members of Hampton House may book Thursday  through Saturday events; outside companies are limited to Sunday through Wednesday  bookings and must receive prior approval.

● All events requiring club closure must be booked at least 45 days in advance to allow for notification to members

No member or guest shall ask any Hampton House staff for illegal drugs or other substances while on House premises, or in the immediate vicinity thereof.

Firearms (and weapons)

In the interest of the safety of our members, guests, and employees, Hampton House restricts members and guests from bringing firearms (or weapons) to Hampton House properties – even in communities where it is permitted by law.

Hampton House operates a strict non-disclosure policy of sharing details of any other member, guest, private hire or member event in the public domain. This includes press and all social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and personal blogs. Members will be held accountable if they or their guests are found breaking this policy. 

Conduct by a member or guest that is prejudicial to the reputation and character of Hampton House may result in suspension or expulsion of such member or guest. Such conduct may include inappropriate, violent or abusive behavior, or the communication of information concerning Hampton House affairs, members or their guests in The House to the media. An expelled member may not return to Hampton House as a guest and will not be entitled to a refund of dues or initiation fees paid. Any member or members who willfully remove, damage or destroy any property belonging to The House, or to members or guests on the premises of The House, will be liable to expulsion and/or suspension or termination of their membership.

Every member binds themselves to abide by the rules, bylaws and regulations of Hampton House at all times upon acceptance as a member. If Hampton House considers that any members (or their guests) conduct either inside or outside of The House premises is contrary to the interests of Hampton House, Hampton House may with immediate effect expel the member or guest from the House premises, and/or suspend or terminate that member's membership without having to give any reason to such member or guest. The House MAY provide a pro-rated refund of the annual dues.

Members who don't follow these values and standards of behavior risk their membership being reviewed by the Membership Behavior Committee. This could result in your membership being suspended or revoked. Members are also responsible for ensuring that their guests follow these same rules, and if these are violated the same repercussions will apply to the member.

From time to time, Hampton House may, in its sole and absolute discretion, amend our House rules in the best interest of our members, guests and/or employees. Please be aware that such amended House rules shall apply to you at all times.
