My wife and I travel the globe and enjoy destinations and accomadations ranging from the simplest bungalow to the swankiest, posh place we can find. We particularly enjoy cuisine, especially local and organic fare. Eco and low impact travel destinations are high on our list.
September 20 2007: We had a wonderful time at the White Elephant. It is a lovely, intimate hotel with wonderful food and incredible service. It is located in close proximity to most of the shopping and restaurants right on the water. Our room was recently renovated and everything seemed very new and well-kept. Though it was a bit excessive - it sure was nice. The spa is small but excellent and the bar and restaurant menu serves up some of the best food on the island. There is also a well-equipped gym which was a nice surprise since most boutique hotels don't have these. If we were to go back to Nantucket, we would stay here again.

November 8 2007: The setting on harbors edge provides a view of the marine activity from the lawn while reading or just meditating on how fortunate you are to be there. A short walk into the town if you want to shop or take in the last century feel. The restaurants are varied and accesable by foot.
the hotel is on a plesant scale. The staff is courtious and helpful without fawning on the guests. The hotel restaurant is overlooking the lawn & harbor and is attractive. Eating outside is particularly nice.
The hotel is similiar to The Inn At Perry Cabin in St. Michaels, MD. I believe if you like one you will like the other.

The White Elephant- located alongside Nantuckets magnificent harbor- has been considered an island landmark since the 1920s. What began as an eclectic mix of cottages has evolved into a premier Nantucket hotel that offers an unexpected blend of island charm and sophisticated amenities that is perfect for Nantucket lodging.
The hotel consists of 53 chic- light-filled guest rooms and suites- most with working fireplaces and harbor views- and 11 garden cottages. All guests enjoy full access to the Library- fitness room- business lounge- and harbor side lawn. Nantucket lodging at the White Elephant reflect the simplicity- understated elegance and tranquility for which Nantucket is renowned. Here exquisite comfort and attentive service are a way of life
