Luxury Nantucket Hotels Accommodations

The White Elephant, a historic Nantucket hotel, located alongside the magnificent harbor, has been considered an island landmark since the 1920's. What began as an eclectic mix of cottages has evolved into a premier Nantucket hotel that offers an unexpected blend of island charm and sophisticated amenities that is perfect for Nantucket.
Our guests are treated to a rare blend of luxury and comfort that is the hallmark of this waterfront hotel. You will experience an exceptional level of personal attention. Ensuring flawless service from the moment you arrive until the day of your departure, a myriad of comforts can be found. Melt into the plush sofas in our Library, or retreat to our Harborside Lawn, where you can sprawl out on white wicker chairs and lounges and sip cool lemonade in the warm sun.
