Brass Lantern Inn - A historic 17-room bed & breakfast with garden patio, continental breakfast, and prime Old Historic District location

Located in Nantucket's historic district since 1847, the Brass Lantern Inn features 17 renovated rooms in a thoroughly updated building. This 4-star Nantucket hotel serves a daily continental breakfast featuring homemade granola, fresh pastries, and fruit in the dining room or garden patio. The property includes common areas with a book-filled lounge, outdoor fire pit, and a gated dog run. Guest accommodations range from standard rooms to two-bedroom family suites, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms and cable TV. Several rooms can accommodate three to four guests, with pack-and-plays available for infants. The Brass Lantern Inn welcomes dogs up to 65 pounds with a dedicated pet care package. Positioned on cobblestone North Water Street, the Brass Lantern provides walking access to ferry terminals, the Whaling Museum, downtown shops, and over 50 restaurants.

Pros

Garden patio and lounge areas stocked with books and comfortable seating

Complimentary continental breakfast with homemade items served daily

Walking distance to both beaches and conservation walking trails

One of few inns accepting pets, with dedicated dog facilities

Cons

Six-step entrance may be challenging for guests with mobility issues

Limited on-site parking available on first-come basis

“Brass Lantern Inn stands out for its successful blend of historic charm and modern comfort, offering a particularly appealing experience for families and pet owners seeking a relaxed Nantucket getaway. The proximity to both the ferry and downtown puts the island's attractions within easy reach, while the variety of room styles accommodates different needs. I especially appreciate the Inn's attention to detail, from the dog-friendly amenities to the thoughtful breakfast service.”
