Inn at White Elephant Village

These intimate accommodations are more design-conscious than those at the White Elephant Hotel, and a good alternative for couples who don’t require the space of the Residences.

• The lofted Presidential Suite with views of Nantucket harbor from its private terrace
• Chic interiors and the elegant bathrooms
• Complimentary bikes

Opened in 2012, the Inn at White Elephant Village is located in the newly renovated historic Harbor House, and connected to the Residences at the White Elephant. Guests have access to the Brant Point Grill and all other facilities at the White Elephant, as well as the outdoor heated pool at the Residences. Housing just 20 rooms on three floors (14 suites and 6 luxury rooms), the Inn offers another a third option for White Elephant guests who may not be keen the traditional feel of the White Elephant Hotel or the apartment style of the Residences.

Islander Kathleen Hays decorated the room interiors in natural tones of browns and beiges. The high-ceiling beamed lobby is stark and enormous, with a seating area around a huge fireplace that dominates the well-manicured space. The Presidential suite on the third floor is the most spectacular of the accommodations; it is the only suite with its own balcony, and is worth upgrading for.

Couples who want an intimate, private escape.
