At a glance

White Elephant is a five-star harborside hotel in the centre of Nantucket, one of the island’s best-known properties.

A Nantucket landmark, a cluster of weathered-shingle buildings on the harbor that grew from 1920s cottages into a luxury hotel in 1960. The flagship has recently had a full renovation, with a light coastal blue-and-white look throughout. Accommodation extends from harborview rooms and suites to garden cottages, residences, and downtown lofts.

The waterfront Brant Point Grill handles dining, with steaks, seafood, and harbor views, and there is a spa, a seasonal heated pool with cabanas, an art gallery, and a library. Complimentary bikes and courtesy cars help guests cover the island. Kid-friendly extras and a romantic harborside setting work for honeymoons and families alike. The town centre is steps away, and the ferry and Nantucket’s beaches are close by.

In detail

Food and Drink

The hotel’s restaurant is the Brant Point Grill, on the water at the edge of the harbor. A steak-and-seafood room, known for its lobster Bloody Marys and Nantucket harbor views, open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, with a terrace for warm-weather dining.

Cocktails also spill out onto the Harborside Lawn. Beyond the hotel, the restaurants, cafes, and bars of Nantucket Town are a short walk from the door.
Spa and Wellness

The White Elephant Spa is a boutique spa in the harborside hotel, with a sunny garden-view lobby and a menu of massages, facials, and body treatments.

Out on the grounds, a seasonal heated outdoor pool holds private cabanas and a poolside bar, alongside a library and an art gallery for quieter moments. Complimentary bikes and courtesy cars on request make it easy to head out to Nantucket’s beaches and lanes.
Location

White Elephant stretches along Easton Street at the edge of Nantucket Harbor, overlooking the Boat Basin and a short walk from the cobblestoned centre of Nantucket Town, with its boutiques, galleries, and restaurants.

Children’s Beach and Brant Point Lighthouse are close by, and the ferry terminal is nearby for boats from Cape Cod. Jetties Beach is about 15 minutes on foot, and the island’s wider beaches and bike trails open up from there.
