White Elephant Nantucket

Project Description

To celebrate the landmark hotel’s 100th anniversary, White Elephant Nantucket engaged Elkus Manfredi Architects to design a top-to-bottom transformation and renovation of the 54-room hotel and its 11 cottages.

The redesigned lobby sets the tone for relaxed elegance, and the hotel and its 11 guest cottages are filled with details that honor the colors, textures, and artistic legacy of the island.
