About this hotel
White Elephant Hotel is an independent property on Nantucket's waterfront, established in 1965. The hotel sits in a prime Cape Cod location, offering views across the harbour and access to the island's downtown shops and restaurants within walking distance. Its long tenure and consistent presence reflect a commitment to the island's quieter hospitality tradition. The property earned Forbes Travel Guide recognition in 2026, a validation of its standards and service. White Elephant draws visitors seeking a established New England coastal stay, with particular appeal to those who value heritage properties and waterfront access without the scale or bustle of larger resort chains.
