An island landmark, the iconic White Elephant, has been named among the finest luxury hotels on Nantucket Island for decades. Steeped in island charm, surrounded by the natural beauty of Nantucket's timeless surroundings, our waterfront resort has grown to include chic rooms with abundant natural light, spacious suites many with balconies and magnificent harbor views, garden cottages, luxurious residences and downtown lofts. Edging the harbor, White Elephant is steps from Children's Beach, the Brant Point Lighthouse, and Nantucket Town. Relax by the outdoor heated pool in a private cabana or hop on a bike and explore the area. Enjoy steaks and seafood, sip cocktails on the Harborside Lawn, or rejuvenate in our spa. Take in the sights of Nantucket Harbor and experience the beauty, serenity, and romantic nature of Nantucket Island.

Shannando and Tiffany made the trip. They were so helpful with an extra request I made to celebrate a friends 40th wedding anniversary. They took time during a wedding no less to personalize the gift by putting it into a bag with tissue paper. They delivered it to the room and made a really sweet experience for my friends. Thank you both so much! Also! Sheila is a wealth of knowledge on the area. A very warm and kind concierge with exceptional knowledge of the area. See you all again soon!

Each and every time I stay here, whether at the main hotel or the residences/village, everything is anticipated. From the incredible mattresses to breakfast at the Brant Point Grille, it's hard to pick a favorite. The team here is exceptionally thoughtful and genuinely take pride in hospitality. Easily the best location and setting for overnights on island. Will be back every chance I get!

I frequently travel for business, have stayed in many hotels and The White Elephant stands apart from the rest. I was blown away at the level of service I experienced. From a simple “Good Morning” to making sure I knew the best spots to run, I couldn’t have been happier. The rooms are spacious and the the beds are super comfortable. Outside of business travel, I look forward to brining my family for this one of a kind experience.

We just returned from another incredible experience at White Elephant. An ideal location, comfortable and luxurious accommodations and flawless guest service are what separates this place from the rest. The staff could not have been more welcoming and warm. Carolyn (front desk) checked us into The Residences and was so delightful. She remembered our names all throughout our stay and was super friendly even when we ran into her in town! Nick (bellman) was charming and so personable. He drove us to our favorite breakfast place and we chatted about “island life” and could tell how grateful he was to be there. The same can be said for Romayne (bellman) who was not only helpful but so full of pride for the property. White Elephant is the PERFECT place to relax and enjoy the charm of Nantucket; we cannot wait to return again soon!…

This was our first visit to Nantucket and The White Elephant Resort was pure perfection. From the unexpected van and gentlemen waiting for us at the dock to the lovely front desk receptionist to the bellman all of the staff went above and beyond for us. We loved the rooms and the complimentary continental breakfast and all of our meals were delicious. Elliott made my daughter a drink not on the menu that she loved. Also had a lobster Bloody Mary-wow! The views of the harbor are amazing. Everyone at the hotel aims to please. We enjoyed the chance to drive a bmw and enjoyed the fireplace in our room. White Elephant is first class and the nicest resort on the island. Can’t wait to return again next year. We are very covid cautious and felt safe the entire stay. We are grateful to The White Elephant for pampering us and giving us an amazing vacation! Bravo…

Dear marawhitman; Thank you so very much for the lovely review! I am glad you felt safe and looked after by the team. It is looking to be a very busy season for us here! The lobster Bloody Mary is amazing! My favorite too! It is nice to hear that you were able to test drive one of our BMW's! They are so much fun. It brings up an amazing point for me, which is that I encourage our guests to enjoy them and stay only on paved roads. We hope to see you again soon! I will pass along your review to Elliott! Sincerely, Bettina Landt General Manager
