"Praised by a Travel + Leisure senior editor who stayed shortly after the hotel's 100th anniversary and 'loved the hotel’s beachy decor and seafood at the Brant Point Grill,' making it a waterfront resort option after biking to lighthouses, visiting whaling-captain homes, and sampling lobster rolls and bay scallops." - Anne Olivia Bauso Anne Olivia Bauso Anne Olivia Bauso is a travel writer and hotel expert based in New York City.

"A harborside inn-and-cottages resort that masters classic New England chic while keeping up with the times, it celebrated its 100th birthday in 2023 with a top-to-bottom renovation of the 54-key hotel and 11 on-site cottages, added an artist-in-residency program, and refreshed interiors that nod to the island’s basket-weaving and seafaring heritage. Cerulean textiles, brass elephant-head door knockers, wood-and-leather armchairs, and marble accents complement ocean views, and the serene great lawn places you mere steps (or a complimentary three-minute bike ride) from the cobblestones and climbing roses of town." - Jessica Sulima
"This Nantucket hotel lets guests borrow BMW vehicles for four-hour stints so visitors can explore the island independently without needing to rent a car externally." - Cat Sposato
"White Elephant is a luxury waterfront resort with elegant decor and fantastic harbor views. It features the tranquil Spa by Darya and offers ADA-accessible rooms. The hotel underwent a renovation in 2023 and is ideal for families." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A luxurious island property originally developed as seaside cottages in the 1920s and recently renovated, this hotel offers 54 refreshed rooms and suites plus 11 garden cottages with coastal-inspired finishes—sky-blue ceilings, grass cloth wall coverings, rattan textiles—and playful pachyderm motifs from door knockers to pillows. Its artist-in-residence program fills public spaces with rotating works (including a large mural in reception), and the location puts guests within easy walking distance of maritime attractions like the whaling museum and Brant Point Lighthouse." - Nicholas DeRenzo
