Restored Shingle-style resort
The historic resort stays open year-round, centered on family-friendly recreation and a wide front porch lined with Adirondack chairs.
What it’s good at
Notable
An 1891 Shingle-style grand hotel restored with its signature octagonal corner tower.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Children's Beach is a short stroll away, and the cobblestone streets of downtown Nantucket sit just beyond.
The rooms
Selected suites have subtle nautical details like brass chandeliers and telescopes, and several open onto shared decks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two heated outdoor pools divide adults and families, and movie nights screen by the water on summer evenings.
The spa & gym
At the table
Sailor's Valentine serves coastal dishes beneath 200 woven baskets on the porch, and fire tables warm the outdoor terrace.
How it began
During the 1930s, the grand ballroom served as the home court for the Nantucket Whalers basketball team.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
