Official Description (provided by the hotel):: THE WAUWINETSituated in between the Atlantic Ocean and Nantucket Bay, The Wauwinet is the island’s only Relais & Châteaux hotel. An adults-only escape, it is the stuff of storybook romance. Its grounds are beautifully landscaped, with unmatched views and access to two beaches – one on the ocean and one on the bay. The 33-room inn is a study in luxe comfort, from Pratesi linens to antique armoires and private sundecks. TOPPER’S, its New American cuisine restaurant, is consistently ranked one of the top in New England. A continual recipient of Wine Spectator’s “Grand Award,” the restaurant features over 1,400 American and international wine vintages. Guests who want a casual open-air lunch can linger on TOPPER’s Deck before ambling out to the beach for sunbathing, a little fishing, or a boat trip. The inn’s Spa by the Sea is set within a garden cottage with a chic white interior. The relaxing and effective menu of treatments features therapies using locally-sourced ingredients. ... more less

“Perfect Getaway”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

If you get a chance to go to Nantucket, this is the place to stay. It is a beautiful property, and desirable, with just 33 rooms. The service is second to none. The hotel restaurant, Toppers has one of the most extensive wine lists that I have ever seen. It is also the number one rated restaurant in Massachusetts. The... More

“A hidden treasure to experience!”

Reviewed 30 May 2013 via mobile

My husband and I took our son for an externship and were super impressed! The staff is like family and the fine details make you feel super appreciated. The pictures are 'spot on'! The raspberry chamomile chocolate on your pillow alongside the notecards with your name on them add a unique touch. The quick response to any request is amazing!

“Exquisitely Comfortable”

Reviewed 29 May 2013

The Wauwinet is a very friendly inn with amazingly luxurious details! Our guestroom was simple yet plush and the staff worked hard to make us happy at every opportunity. We were welcomed with sparkling wine, had cheese and port in the afternoons, and the morning coffee and pastries made me feel at home - but so much better than home!... More

“Above and Beyond”

I had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Wauwinet. I'm an employee of Topper's restaurant, and my mom came to visit me and stayed at the Wauwinet. I stayed with her, and we were both incredibly impressed with the Inn itself and the service we received. We were greeted with such a warm and friendly staff, and help carrying... More

“We go every year - unsurpassed excellence”

The Wauwinet is by far our most favored hotel/inn on the island. We go to Nantucket frequently in the Summer and in addition to renting the same Quidnet beach house, we also spend 4-5 days at the Wauwinet and another 4-5 at the Cottages at the Boat Basin (both properties are part of Nantucket Island Resorts along with the White...

My husband and I stayed at the Wauwinet for 4 days/3 nights in August to enjoy a "mini-moon" immediately after our wedding on Cape Cod. We could not have picked a better spot! The Wauwinet offered the quiet, private escape we were looking for but it still offered lot of options for activities! We booked the splurge package and thoroughly... More

“Didn't Want to Leave”

Reviewed 31 December 2012

Visited the Wauwinet in mid-october and it was fantastic. We had the place, more or less, to ourselves. The weather was a bit cooler of course but one of the days was in the mid 60s and we were able to spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach. The room was quiet and comfortable. The staff were all so helpful... More

“Simply, the best!”

Reviewed 21 November 2012

I have been familiar with this property since I was a child. I remember The Wauwinet long before it was transformed into a 5-star hotel... back in the days when you could purchase a $1 candy bar at the front desk and rooms were relatively inexpensive... at least, by Nantucket standards. And although those days are long gone and the... More

“Perfect honeymoon”

Reviewed 28 September 2012

We stayed at the Wauwinet for the last two nights of our Nantucket honeymoon. The location is unbeatable- it is out on the island, away from town, right on a beautiful cove. The staff were friendly and totally accommodating (e.g. they packed a perfect picnic dinner for us to take down to the beach, even though we didn't realize we... More
