    We had the most wonderful stay at the White Elephant. I've been coming to Nantucket since I was born, with family on island, however, I'd never been during off season. We decided to spend a week in ACK during early November and I'm so glad we did. While not everything is open due to the season and covid, it was so special visiting the island with so little traffic, no crowds, and the hotel so quiet. Staff: The staff at the White Elephant are absolutely wonderful. Huge shout out to Alice (pronounced Elise), Clive, and the rest of the staff. They provided the best recommendations, were so cheery and helpful, and truly made the trip even better. Covid: All Covid precautions were in place, and we felt incredibly safe staying at the White Elephant. There was hand sanitizer everywhere, everyone was wearing masks, robes were wrapped in plastic in the room, and everything was sparking clean. Location: The location can't be beat, right in town, walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. You're right on the harbor, and it's the perfect spot for having a glass of wine or catching the sunrises/sunsets. The grounds were immaculate, even in November. They have a raffle twice a day where you can put your name in to be selected to drive one of their beautiful BMWs for four hours. This was a fun touch to drive around the island and they sanitize the vehicles prior to and after use. They also have a free shuttle that will bring you around. Room: I recommend getting a harbor view room if possible. Our room was on the ground floor and had a fireplace, a beautiful patio overlooking the harbor, and was incredibly clean and spacious. The bed was so comfortable with the softest sheets, and perfect pillows. Dining: Brant Point Grill, attached to the hotel, was a great spot to grab breakfast (complimentary coffee/pastries in the AM) or a drink and some oysters in the evening. Nate makes the BEST espresso martinis ever. Spa: The 90 minute Detoxifying Algae Wrap & Body Massage was life changing. Laura at the front desk helped choose the perfect treatment and I believe it was done by Jenn, but will have to confirm. 10/10. We really had a perfect stay here and can't wait to return.

    Absolutely the very best service I've ever experienced. This place was just wonderful, not only were the facilities gorgeous, the staff was on point, and went above and beyond. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. My fiancé (now wife) and I stayed at the hotel, as well as having our rehearsal dinner at the on-site restaurant. Rachel in events was a great help, and made our dinner perfect. We look forward to staying at the White Elephant on every trip to the island.

    Beautiful hotel on the water. Rooms could use a little updating but everything they have to offer makes up for it.

    This is a beautiful Inn in a perfect location. The room was nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. We had a balcony that looked over the water. The staff could not have been nicer. It is a quick and easy walk into town. The bar and restaurant has a nice vibe and great food. If Nantucket is your destination, this is the place to stay.

    We ended up going to the hotel restaurant, Brant Point Grill, for lunch and it was excellent.

    so far extreme disappointment we were supposed to met at…read moreferry, we were not.Called hotel and one eventually sent. eventually checked into room which was smaller then any junior suite i have ever seen ( does not even have a closet or a bath) and over 80 degrees. apologies given since AC broken through out the hotel, but they are "working on it" so i guess that's alright mattress does not even cover frame so extreme care needed getting out of bed, painful ankles remind one not to get out of bed casually. upside is it is in Nantucket so we can go elsewhere for a lovely dinner it gets better turns out our suite with 2 rooms and patio (as booked) turns into a small standard room. so short stay made shorter trying to get proper room

    One of the nicest hotels I have ever had the pleasure staying in! We had our own private suite with…read morebedroom, living room, dining/kitchen area, enormous bathroom, washer and dryer, and even our own outdoor space. It was almost like renting our own little nantucket cottage with a private entrance to our suite from the neighborhood outside. The service was impeccable as well as all the little, decadent, included perks. Every morning there are amazing pastries in the reception area. I got an assortment of danishes, croissants, and muffins thinking to just sample a bit. I ate it ALL. Each room gets their own drip coffee and nespresso machine. In the afternoons they set out cookies, and in the early evenings are wine and cheese. There are also complimentary bicycles, which allowed me the chance to check out quite a few of the local beaches and lighthouses nearby. One afternoon we went to the pool and enjoyed our private cabana and snacks, drinks, and even fresh fruit! They even provided us with sunscreen and signed copies of nantucket-y beach reads. Seriously, they've thought of everything. Such a relaxing vacation and I hope to come back one day!
