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.
