What guests think
Travellers praise White Elephant Hotel for exceptionally friendly, attentive service, a scenic harborfront setting within easy walking distance of town, and thoughtful amenities like complimentary bikes, local shuttle rides, and a relaxing pool, creating an easy, comfortable Nantucket stay.
Rooms are described as comfortable, with suites and cozy features like fireplaces, though a few guests found certain rooms smaller than expected or affected by occasional noise near dining areas. On-site dining, especially Brant Point Grill, earns praise, yet isolated gripes include cold tent seating and a lack of dining or bar in the Inn section. Cleanliness and upkeep are largely solid, with turndown service appreciated, although a few reviews note tired carpets, a cloudy pool on one visit, and minor maintenance or grounds issues. A polished island hotel with mostly strong reviews and occasional hiccups.

Had a 5-star weekend at this hotel. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was cleaned and checked on often (they leave you chocolate and weather forecast for the next day every night!) We got lucky and the pool was just opened on our last day so we got to enjoyed it. Also loved the location as it's super easy to go grab a bite/check out local shops anytime and there are free bikes you can use whenever!

As we were in the Inn section of the hotel, there was no dining facility or bar area to relax in. We went to sit by the pool and the pool was in dire need of a good cleaning. It was very cloudy and greenish. Needed to be shocked.

Room rates are the equivalent of European coastal hotels ( Capri) without the amenities of European hotels and without the hospitalities. Pool is not impressive. Residence ballroom should be converted to dining. Plastic container in Residence lobby for breakfast pastries is minimal and not deserving of the White Elephant. Loose bricks not maintained in steps from Residences and require maintenance in addition to elevator rug which is dirty/stained. Cushions on outside chairs require cleaning. -Hotel grounds are not impressive- especially compared to Wauwinet grounds. Disappointed in value received. Could be so much better! Positives are transportation offered and friendly front desk staff.

I've stayed in my fair share of five star hotels but this was by far the best overall hotel experience I've ever had. It's an absolutely beautiful property right on the water with so much charm, and the location is perfect. You can walk or ride their bikes to pretty much everything. The hotel also offers a BMW car service that's very lux and convenient. The rooms are extremely comfortable. But what really makes this such a special place is the staff. The service was 11/10 in all parts of the hotel. Can't wait to go back!

Having been to Nantucket several times over 30 years, we knew about the White Elephant and decided that for our 50th wedding anniversary we would stay there for a few days. From the minute we arrived, our experience could not have been better. The staff allowed us to store our luggage at the Inn until our room was ready as we were early so we went into town and walked around the harbor and had a bite to eat. As we walked into our room, the staff had told us that we had been upgraded and the room was awesome, with every amenity I could think of, and some that I couldn't, Another staff member knocked at our door about ten minutes after we arrived with a bottle of champagne and a plate of chocolate covered strawberries compliments of the Inn with a nice note wishing us congratulations on our anniversary. When I told the staff member that we didn't drink and he could take the bottle back, he asked if there was something he could substitute and when I really couldn't think of anything, he asked if we liked smoothies. I said we love smoothies and within minutes he came back with 2 of the best banana strawberry smoothies we had ever had. He didn't have to do that but it spoke to the level of care given to your guests. From the cookies and breads and charcuterie that was put out over the day and the waters delivered to our room, the service was very kind and genuine and we had never been treated like that. We can only say, thank you for the trip of a lifetime.

Top notch facilities with this property other than being placed in a tent at the Brant Point Grill which was somewhat off putting. It was rather cold and seems odd to still be using it in late October. Still, service and food were outstanding. Staff is amazingly attentive. Room was first class.

I have been to Nantucket many times. This was my first stay at the White Elephant with my family of 5. The hotel was wonderful , spacious with excellent staff. It is in the perfect area very close to town but still quiet and peaceful. Their Brandt point restaurant was excellent. I will definitely return in the near future Thank you White Elephant for a wonderful vacation .

As we were in the Inn section of the hotel, there was no dining facility or bar area to relax in. We went to sit by the pool and the pool was in dire need of a good cleaning. It was very cloudy and greenish. Needed to be shocked.

Room rates are the equivalent of European coastal hotels ( Capri) without the amenities of European hotels and without the hospitalities. Pool is not impressive. Residence ballroom should be converted to dining. Plastic container in Residence lobby for breakfast pastries is minimal and not deserving of the White Elephant. Loose bricks not maintained in steps from Residences and require maintenance in addition to elevator rug which is dirty/stained. Cushions on outside chairs require cleaning. -Hotel grounds are not impressive- especially compared to Wauwinet grounds. Disappointed in value received. Could be so much better! Positives are transportation offered and friendly front desk staff.

Having been to Nantucket several times over 30 years, we knew about the White Elephant and decided that for our 50th wedding anniversary we would stay there for a few days. From the minute we arrived, our experience could not have been better. The staff allowed us to store our luggage at the Inn until our room was ready as we were early so we went into town and walked around the harbor and had a bite to eat. As we walked into our room, the staff had told us that we had been upgraded and the room was awesome, with every amenity I could think of, and some that I couldn't, Another staff member knocked at our door about ten minutes after we arrived with a bottle of champagne and a plate of chocolate covered strawberries compliments of the Inn with a nice note wishing us congratulations on our anniversary. When I told the staff member that we didn't drink and he could take the bottle back, he asked if there was something he could substitute and when I really couldn't think of anything, he asked if we liked smoothies. I said we love smoothies and within minutes he came back with 2 of the best banana strawberry smoothies we had ever had. He didn't have to do that but it spoke to the level of care given to your guests. From the cookies and breads and charcuterie that was put out over the day and the waters delivered to our room, the service was very kind and genuine and we had never been treated like that. We can only say, thank you for the trip of a lifetime.

The White Elephant did not disappoint. We stayed in a two-bedroom residence, and it exceeded our expectations. The residence was beautifully appointed, comfortable, and just a short walk from downtown, making it the perfect location. The staff and management team were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and committed to making our stay enjoyable. We also loved the restaurant, which was outstanding for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch. The nearby pool and cabanas were another highlight, and once again, the service from the staff was excellent. The only minor downside was the early morning noise from vendors working on the property, which occasionally interrupted the peaceful atmosphere. Aside from that, our stay was incredibly relaxing, and we would absolutely return. We highly recommend the White Elephant and look forward to staying there again.
