Nantucket
Coastal New England boutique with an eclectic, curiosity-cabinet sensibility. Ivy-draped courtyard, original low-pitched ceilings in eaves rooms, cobblestone streets steps away. The ethos is explorer meets island regular.
Grab a La Colombe coffee from the courtyard walk-up window each morning — it's the fastest start to any island day
Why It Matters
Occupying multiple adjacent 19th-century captain's homes in Nantucket's tightly controlled historic district — something no new hotel can replicate. The only boutique inn of this scale with its own full-service restaurant in the downtown core.
Five historic captain's homes in Nantucket's downtown historic district, converted into a 58-room boutique inn arranged around a lush, ivy-bordered courtyard. The oldest house dates to 1846. Each building has its own personality — from lively and communal to quiet and family-friendly — and every room is stocked with actual thoughtful details: Bellino Italian linens, Byredo toiletries, Tivoli Bluetooth radios, and a mini fridge curated with local goods. Sister Ship, the on-site restaurant and cocktail bar, draws guests and locals alike.
