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.
