Small, sophisticated, luxury suites with private
entrances in superb location near Whaling Museum in Historic District.
Entering the hand painted foyer of the Nantucket Whaler
returns you to another era. Designed in the grand Greek Revival style of
1850, this former home of a whaling captain is now a small,
sophisticated inn, a unique treasure for those seeking privacy and
undeniable luxury.
When you arrive at the Nantucket Whaler, you will be
escorted through the garden to the private entrance of your elegant
suite. In addition to the friendly service, you will appreciate the
attention to detail and the devotion to your comfort.
As you venture outside on one of the few remaining
cobblestone streets in the Historic District, you will find the location
of the Nantucket Whaler to be superb. The Nantucket Whaler's charm is
enhanced by its location next to the Whaling Museum and the Nantucket
Yacht Club.
Exploring the beautiful island of Nantucket will be a
pleasure - the beaches, museums and shops are all nearby. Rent bicycles,
four wheel drive vehicles or mopeds a block or two away, and travel to
any remote corner of this magical island.
In the evening, take a stroll around the corner for
dinner, choosing from the many fine restaurants Nantucket has to offer.
