Right on the edge of Nantucket Harbor, the iconic White Elephant hotel has taken its graceful place on the island’s waterfront for almost a century. Today, guests in its 66 rooms and suites, many with water views, and home-away-from-home garden cottages can awaken to the sights and sounds of the sea. Watch sailboats flow in and out of the harbor from the spacious, flower-edged lawn, or from white rockers on the lovely terrace, or from your own patio or deck. Enjoy fruits of the sea at the Brant Point Grill. Let a concierge help plan a fishing trip or sunset cruise. Relax at the heated outdoor pool, spa or beach. It’s everything you want in a seaside resort.

Stay where the Atlantic is your waterfront

Waterfront is a relative term but here your waterfront is not only the Ogunquit River but the expanse of the great Atlantic. A variety of superior lodgings are set amongst beautifully landscaped grounds and within the breezes, sounds and smells of the sea. Enjoy a hearty continental breakfast on the wraparound porch overlooking Ogunquit River Beach. Spacious rooms offer private baths, cable TV, DVD/VCR, free Wi-Fi and refrigerators. Two suites and eight units with efficiency kitchens can accommodate families, groups or extended stays. You can park yourself in a comfy lawn chair or take a swim in the heated pool. Ogunquit Beach is for walking along the Marginal Way while Perkins Cove, village shops, restaurants and movie theatres are just a short walk or trolley ride away.
