The Richard, The Edgartown Collection

What guests think

Travellers describe The Richard, The Edgartown Collection as a charming boutique stay with exceptionally friendly service, very clean rooms and common areas, an inviting garden courtyard with a fire pit, and a quality continental breakfast with all-day coffee and tea.

The walkable setting makes it easy to reach shops, restaurants, the waterfront, and public transport. Rooms are stylish, some with balconies or decks, but several reviewers note smaller layouts, occasional street or footfall noise, and softer mattresses. Expect a polished, intimate inn with a relaxed in-town vibe.

The Hotel was very modern with the most comfortable bed and pillows, the overall decor was well done. The bonus was a free upgrade that included a lounging patio deck. The grounds are very nicely kept with a beautiful outdoor seating and fire decor. Evening cookies and morning breakfast was a bonus. The location is on point right on the Main Street. I definitely recommend it.

This well appointed boutique hotel was one the highlights of my three-day trip to the island. I have been to MV many times, but this felt like a piece of serene luxury - exactly my personal vibe. It was centrally located in Edgartown and I was able to walk to most of my day and evening destinations. The Richard had been on my list of hotels to stay at for a few years and it did not disappoint. It's clean and sophisticated with the just the right dose of richness, especially in the details. Especially noteworthy was service and genuine hospitality that I received from Kaitlyn and Katie - they were rockstars! Don't hesitate to stay here and carve some time out to spend in the beautiful courtyard!

This is a beautiful property in an old whaling captains mansion. The room, the products, the linens, towels, pillows etc were all excellent quality. The morning coffe and breakfast service was exceptional with fresh, quality options and presentation. Obviously there are alwatys some challenges when staying at such on old/historic property (steep, narrow stairways, fewer electrical outlets, etc.) but those minor inconveniences were really no bother in context of the quality of the hotel and its service.

The staff is fantastic. They greeted us with a warm welcome and were very friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great visit. The room was clean and well equipped but was a bit on the small size. We found the bed and pillows were softer than what we find at other hotels and thus a bit uncomfortable for us. Rooms at the front of the hotel are only 20 feet from the Main street where car and foot traffic is nearly constant in the evening, so it can be a bit noisy. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and found a nice card from the hotel staff and bottle of champaign in our room when we arrived. We though it was a nice touch until we arrived home to learn our children had arrange for that. Unfortunately the hotel took credit for it and never mentioned who it was actually from. Not cool. The close proximity to shopping, dinning, and bike rentals is what really makes this hotel so desirable. It's also part of the residential area, which makes for a nice casual stroll through the neighborhood any time of day.

We stayed in the top floor suite, love the separate bedrooms and the 1.5 baths, plus living area. Kaitlyn is a true gem, such a wonderful young lady, extremely helpful and she gave us a list of places to experience while visiting. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The property was lovely and well appointed. The breakfast was a nice touch (although repetitive). The staff was very kind and helpful. But our room (#3) was extremely noisy - you could hear the street, other guests inside the hotel passing by or in their rooms and the front door everytime it was used. It may have been the worst room due to its location and it should perhaps be mentioned when booking.

The hotel is so convenient to restaurants, shopping and the central bus stop. It was quite private as well, with a courtyard for relaxation even though it's literally on main street. I did want to commend the exemplary customer service by Katie and Neusa for arranging to have my bags transferred to a sister hotel 'Edgartown Inn' while we spent the day in Nantucket. I would definitely consider staying at the Richard again in my future travels.

The Richard was conveniently located close to everything in Edgartown. The harbor was a 10 minute walk while the lighthouse was a 17 minute walk. There were eateries on every block with numerous shops as well. The front desk staff was great. They assisted me with a taxi to Oak Bluffs when Lyft was taking entirely too long. The main doors were locked at night and a code was required for entry which gave me peace of mind. I stayed on the first floor in Room 4 and my bathroom was very spacious. They had a keurig area by the front desk with a variety of stocked teas and coffee. For breakfast, they provided a continental style breakfast from. 7-9 am. I will definitely stay here again!!
