2025 Summer Guide - Nantucket

The Nantucket Hotel & Resort
"Little Gem Resorts is a family affair. Mark first arrived on Nantucket as a child with his family in the mid 1960’s. It started a love affair with the island that culminated with the Snider’s purchase of The Nantucket Hotel in 2011. The Nantucket Hotel has been fully restored to carry on its role as Nantucket’s grand and iconic last shingle style 19th century hotel offering a tradition of quality and great hospitality into the 21st century."

White Elephant Nantucket
"The White Elephant has graced Nantucket's waterfront since the 1920's. Originally a collection of rustic cottages, the hotel was the dream of a prominent Nantucket socialite, Elizabeth T. Ludwig. She believed that the property would, one day, be a fine harborside hotel. Her pet project became the talk of the town, known affectionately as "Mrs. Ludwig's white elephant"—a witty name that stuck. But Mrs. Ludwig never wavered in her belief that the White Elephant would become a gracious Nantucket hotel. The lodging business prospered and additional buildings were added, as were a new dining room, lounge and cottages."

Faraway Hotels
"Faraway Nantucket boasts 6 buildings, a restaurant, and an outdoor courtyard in the heart of the downtown. Thus, there is no need for a car as we are within walking distance from the ferries and the beautiful shops, restaurants, and attractions that make the town a wonderful place to call home during your visit."

Cru
"​Since opening in May 2012, CRU has earned a reputation as a culinary destination unmatched on Nantucket. Our iconic waterfront location in the heart of Nantucket harbor offers the ideal back drop any time of day. This casually elegant venue offers an experience unlike any other to enjoy a glass of champagne, indulge in caviar and perfectly-shucked oysters or sip on a glass of rosé at sunset."

Cisco Brewers
"A handful of years ago, a writer visited Nantucket and called Cisco “the happiest place on earth”. And we couldn’t have agreed more. The brewery was founded 30 miles off the coast of Massachusetts, on the island of Nantucket—making it hard to get to, but even harder to leave. A place where time slows and conversations flow. Where tourists become locals, and smiles are served by the pint. Since 1995, we’ve bottled up that “happiest place on earth” energy. Into every beer we’ve served and instilled it at every brewpub we’ve opened, across New England. Because at Cisco, good vibes are always in season. And our beer is pretty awesome, too."

Sister Ship
"A restaurant, cafe, and relaxed cocktail club, Sister Ship offers elevated cocktails alongside seafood-forward, Mediterranean dishes, made using New England seafood and local ingredients."

Billie's Nantucket
"There’s a rhythm to Billie’s that mirrors life on Nantucket – seasonal, evolving, and full of character. Our approach draws from the world but stays grounded in a sense of place. What’s served reflects not just what’s available, but what feels right for the moment. We believe in substance over show, in comfort without compromise. That sensibility shapes everything we do, from how we cook to how we welcome you in. Whether it’s your first time through the door or your tenth, Billie’s is a place that feels instinctively easy – and leaves a lasting impression."
