Greydon House - A restored 1850s sea captain's home with Michelin-starred dining and custom Roman and Williams design

Located in Nantucket's historic district, this upscale 20-room Nantucket hotel occupies an 1850s sea captain's residence with a three-story mansard addition. Each room features custom-designed beds by Roman and Williams topped with John Robshaw block-printed linens. The bathrooms showcase Waterworks brass fixtures, Acqua di Parma amenities, and Portuguese hand-painted nautical tiles. Greydon House's Via Mare restaurant, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Marcus Gleadow-Ware, serves Venetian-inspired small plates in multiple dining spaces including an open-air terrace. The property includes an overgrown English garden designed by landscape artist Marty McGowan. Guests receive complimentary Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 11 cameras and Lands' End beach totes with towels and Bose speakers. The hotel sits one minute from the Whaling Museum and two minutes from the ferry terminal, with complimentary terminal pickup available.

Pros

Partners with Lavender Farm Wellness for seasonal retreats including functional medicine consultations and guided meditation

Features globally-sourced antiques and contemporary art by Terry Winters

Offers unique dining venues including a bohemian living room-bar and street-side cafe seating

Provides exclusive yacht charter experiences on a 65' sailing vessel

Cons

Located 6 miles from Nantucket Memorial Airport

No on-site swimming pool or spa facilities

“The building's history is honored in every detail, with interiors by Roman and Williams, while the location places you directly in Nantucket's downtown, a short walk from the ferries. Each room's design feels individualized, and the garden spaces appear thoughtfully composed. Via Mare, the on-site restaurant, brings a Michelin-starred touch, making this more than just a place to stay; it's a culinary experience as well.”
