White Elephant Nantucket Hotel Location

Just 30 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the small and beautiful island of Nantucket is famous for its picturesque beaches, ferries, lighthouses, and historic homes. And it's all a bike ride or leisurely walk from our door. Situated on the harbor within walking distance of the cobble-stoned sidewalks and gas lamps of Petticoat Row, the White Elephant is moments away from the island's boutique shopping, fine dining, historic sightseeing, surfside beachcombing, scenic biking, and more.

Nantucket Island Hotel


Our waterfront Nantucket Island hotel lies in close proximity to the town center. As our guest, the island's most popular beaches, lighthouses, and marina will be just steps away. But you don't need to step a foot from our hotel to enjoy harbor views from your balcony or our restaurant, Brant Point Grill. You can also kick back and sip a cocktail on the Harborside Lawn or indulge yourself with a spa treatment at our spa.

Nantucket Island Attractions


Of all the hotels and inns on Nantucket Island, the White Elephant may be the most impeccably located. The island offers plenty of sun, sand and surf for those looking for adventure. Go swimming in the clear waters of Nantucket Sound or hit the Atlantic side of the island with boogey board or surfboard in tow. If you'd rather stay dry, rent a bike and pedal around the island to explore some of the island's fun spots from Bartlett Farm and Cisco Brewery to Madaket, or even Great Point Lighthouse.
