What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the Greydon House, a renovation and expansion of a 19th-century sea captain’s house, delivers its own version of New England maritime-chic, while studiously avoiding the local clichés.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Broad Street, the hotel sits a quick walk from the ferry docks, the Whaling Museum, and downtown cobblestones.
The rooms
Bespoke metal beds feature patterned linens, while bathrooms showcase hand-painted Portuguese tiles depicting island maritime scenes.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Via Mare
The Venetian tavern serves cicchetti, handmade pastas, and local seafood across a blue-paneled dining room and covered porch.
Whether the reception or the panelled library, every room is dressed in a rich palette of colours and textures, layered with a palimpsest of Nantucket’s history...
How it began
The property blends a preserved 1850s sea captain residence with a custom addition designed to match Nantucket's strict architectural codes.
“The fully renovated 1850 sea captain’s house is cozy and stylish (the Roman + Williams design respectfully incorporates elements of the island’s maritime culture).”
