White Elephant Nantucket

Stayed at hotel Thursday to Sunday Thanksgiving weekend. General observations: Rooms: Fantastic... newly renovated, clean. Service: Excellent. 95% of the people we interacted with were happy, positive, engaging and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring our stay was A+. Room was well made up every day. Location: Great... easily walkable to anything downtown... and bike'able throughout the Island... staff was very helpful helping us plan our route to Cisco brewery (fun). Food service: Know what you are in for: Thanksgiving diner... it was a buffet... a buffet is a buffet... while raw bar (food and staff) was A level fair; everything else was just OK; golden coral buffet level... We were last sitting, several of the deserts were essentially gone; had to literally scrape the remaining apple crisp just to get a spoonful... turned us off to dining / bar experience... went out for all other meals... would pass on the buffet, take your luck at a restaurant in town or go to the harbor stop and shop for sandwiches and wine in the room. Tip: Get up early for sunrise at the lighthouse (awesome), walk to steps beach (not far, great neighborhood), take advantage of bikes and locks (make almost every part of the island accessible within 15 min via safe bike paths).

I have been to a lot of hotels in this world and this one is much different in a positive way. The attention to detail is outstanding. I had left my bags in my in-laws room while our room was being prepared and the staff knew this and sent a person to get the bags from my in-laws room and bring them to our room. The hotel does nightly turndown service. They have very nice vehicle onsite which takes you within 1.0 mile of the hotel and will pick you up. The food was good in the hotel and at the event I attended. It is a very short walk to the downtown area. I am planning on returning in the warmer months so I can enjoy the pool and the beach that is located next to the property. To the managers and staff please keep up the nice work.

My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon at the white elephant. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff who congratulated us. When we got to our room, they upgraded it and had champagne and chocolate strawberries with a note. Was SO surprised by this king gesture. Our stay was nothing but fantastic. So happy we stayed here!

Wonderful atmosphere and great customer service. We came here for the Fourth of July week. Very clean and comfortable rooms. We got one room that sleeps 2 and has French doors to the view of the water and surrounding neighbors. The other room was very spacious with a king bed and pull out couch. They have shuttle services to take you around town and/or to their pool. However, you need a taxi or Uber to get from the airport to hotel. They have delicious meals too at Brant Point Grill. I do recommend the White Elephant.

Hands down, the best hotel on the Island! Location is perfect and close to downtown, without being in the busiest area. The rooms are beautiful, large, well attended, and pristine clean. Service at the White Elephant is second to none. Very well trained staff, rides to wherever we want to go, polite and friendly. We've stayed at other high end hotels, but will now only stay at the White Elephant. Easily earns 5 stars!

This is one of the classiest hotels my husband has stayed in thus far. The customer service is exceptional. Guests are escorted to restaurants nearby in a luxury SUV. The rooms are cozy and whimsical. I personally loved all the elephant themed decor. The views from the room are serene. This is a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Boston or nearby areas. Keep up the great work White Elephant!
