Travel + Leisure's 2009 World's Best Awards
White Elephant voted #1 in New England
and #15 in the U.S. & Canada.

The White Elephant, located alongside Nantucket's 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, Massachusetts lodging.

The White Elephant sits serenely on the waterfront, yet is only minutes from the unique boutiques and art galleries, mouth-watering restaurants, and fascinating museums for which the island is known. The hotel consists of 53 chic, light-filled guest rooms and suites, most with working fireplaces and harbor views, and 11 garden cottages and our signature loft. All guests enjoy full access to the Library, fitness room, business lounge, and harborside lawn.

Nantucket lodging at the White Elephant reflects the simplicity, understated elegance and tranquility for which Nantucket is renowned.
