We loved our stay at the White Elephant. The pre-arrival concierge was very helpful in answering our questions. The concierge at the hotel was very accommodating, providing transportation to our dinner reservations as needed and scheduling a taxi to the airport. We took the shuttle to Topper's one night and loved it. I would suggest making your own reservations beforehand. Most all things are walkable from the hotel. We stayed in a One Bedroom Residence and appreciated the extra space. The hotel's location, service, and amenities are the things that would bring us back to the White Elephant!

Catching the tail end of summer, two friends of mine and I spent a couple of nights at White Elephant and could easily see why it’s been named a premier place to stay on Nantucket. We arrived midday before the guaranteed check in so we left our belongings with the friendly bell staff, made ourselves coffee at the convenient and complimentary barista stand in the lobby, and browsed through the colorful gift shop. Next we relaxed on the plush lounge chairs on the lawn along the waterfront, which was spectacular. When our harbor view room was ready, we were blown away by how bright and spacious it was and with a balcony to boot. All of the elephant touches are adorable from the privacy sign to the door knockers to the elephant pillow on the bed. The location is perfect with town easily accessed on foot or with one of the hotel’s cruiser bikes. Dinner at Topper's at the Wauwinet, White Elephant's sister hotel, is also a must for the sunset, the Grand Award-winning wine list, delicious menu, and the service. I wish I had more time to spend though two nights made for a memorable trip at the most perfect property. (And the pillows and mattresses and turndown treats will always lure us back!)

“It's all about Expectations”

It's Nantucket so this hotel is PRICEY - so I suppose I was a bit put off by the laissez faire attitude of the staff. Reception is like that of a Hampton Inn, both figuratively and literally ( here's the key - coffee is over by the kiosk - check out is 11 a.m. ). So if you want to plan any experie… lisää

It's Nantucket so this hotel is PRICEY - so I suppose I was a bit put off by the laissez faire attitude of the staff. Reception is like that of a Hampton Inn, both figuratively and literally ( here's the key - coffee is over by the kiosk - check out is 11 a.m. ). So if you want to plan any experiences on Nantucket, just google it and get it in the books before you get there. The concierge, once found, was luke-warm and seemed to have mentally checked out for the summer. This being said, our accommodations were lovely, clean and well appointed, though the exterior courtyard could benefit from some TLC. Housekeeping was efficient and timely and the doormen super helpful when needed. Location is great - near town but a few blocks removed from the heavily touristed area.
