White Elephant
In 1999, the owners of The Wauwinet, an internationally acclaimed Relais & Chateaux inn located on Nantucket, acquired the White Elephant. Their dream - to complement The Wauwinet by building an upscale hotel just outside Nantucket Town offering world-class cuisine, exemplary service and a guest experience that reflects the history and spirit of its locale.
So, whether you select The Breakers, a Garden Cottage, Fifty Seven Easton Street or the new White Elephant itself, you'll have access to the harborside lawn, adjoining beach, complimentary breakfast, the library, fitness room and many other pampering services and amenities. A high staff to guest ratio ensures prompt and professional service.
The Garden Cottages offer one, two or three bedrooms and have been completely redecorated. Spacious, light and airy, the cottages are the accommodations of choice for those enjoying extended vacations.
The White Elephant is dedicated to creating an experience beyond expectations. Architectural detail, interiors and landscaping complement the property's natural surroundings, creating an ambience of supreme comfort, timeless elegance and charm. Superior accommodations are enhanced by many complimentary services and amenities, including recreational activities that both educate and entertain. And the staff is second to none, with the ability to anticipate your needs — often before you do.

A landmark worthy of the stunning location. The White Elephant consists of four different types of accommodations, each of varying and delightful character.
The White Elephant hotel offers 54 elegantly decorated rooms consisting of bedrooms and two-room suites, many with a working fireplace.
Begin with endless beaches along 85 miles of coastline, hinting at a limitless horizon. Then, the almost magical aura that surrounds Nantucket Town. A feeling of stepping into the past while discovering just how wonderful the present can be. And the adventure of walking down the cobblestone carriageways, filled with one-of-a-kind boutiques, superb restaurants and fascinating museums.
Nantucket is quintessentially New England, but with a flavor and rhythm all its own. A place where neighborliness makes the need for traffic signals unnecessary, and where retail chains and franchises are unknown. A place where you have the luxury of doing as you please with no preset schedules or particular destinations.
