White Elephant

The White Elephant is simply a special place. It stretches beside a harbor on the charming island of Nantucket and offers a high level of accommodation and attentive personal service in a relaxed atmosphere. Almost everything you could want is available to you. This is what the White Elephant is all about, and it meets and exceeds its goals of ensuring the guest a treasured visit that will be remembered only as being too short. From the greeting by the doormen to that of the front desk staff, your visit here will be one of a series of highlights as the staff effortlessly anticipates your desires. Rooms are extraordinarily comfortable—mine had a sitting room with a fireplace and doors opening to a small deck overlooking that magnetic view of a working harbor. The White Elephant is only a few blocks from all of Nantucket town’s shops, galleries, and restaurants. When you tire of all this charm, you can return to the inn and stretch out in the sun with the libation of your choice and a good book, and let the world go by. The Brant Point Grill will provide you with breakfast and at the end of the day, after a cocktail or a glass of wine in the attractive bar, a dinner where you will enjoy every taste. Amenities at the inn include an exercise room, a library, jitney service to the beaches, transportation to the ferry back to reality, and a business center.
