“My sense is that the White Elephant elegantly balances its historical presence on Nantucket with modern luxury. The location is superb, right on the water, and the recent renovations have only enhanced the rooms and cottages. What stands out most, though, is the exceptional service, a level of attentiveness that seems genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable stay.”
