The Brant

Style

Cedar-clad stunner

Setting

Lap of the Grey Lady

Boutique Nantucket stay, the Brant delivers buckets of wholesome coastal charm without holding back on the luxury. The cluster of cedar-shingled barns look straight out of the 17th century, but inside, modern rooms balance exposed-beam quaintness with sleek custom furniture and a minimalist palette. Scoop up a hamper stuffed with beach essentials, hop on a bike and freewheel down to the shore, or pass sun-warmed afternoons with a paperback out on the lawn, looking up only to order another Aperol spritz.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Cloudless afternoons call for cocktails and a cheeseboard out on the lawn.

Dress Code

Your best just back from the beach look – chino shorts or a chintzy dress with a sea salt-tousled ’do.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no formal restaurant, but an all-day menu of salads, sandwiches and Mediterranean-inspired plates allows for alfresco grazing.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am, and there’s an all-day menu available until 9pm. The bar pours from 10am to 11pm.

Room Service

The bar serves local craft beer, a curated wine list and a menu of specialty cocktails. After a coast-skirting cycle, the signature sip – a frozen aperol spritz – is an especially seductive prospect.

Planes

Seasonal flights from eastern cities including New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, as well as year-round flights from Boston and Martha’s Vineyard, touch down at Nantucket Memorial Airport. From there, it’s a 10-minute drive to the hotel.

Automobiles

With Nantucket Town and three beaches all within easy walking distance, your own wheels aren’t a necessity. If you do bring a car, free on-street parking is available near the hotel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

If you have the seaside in your sights, there are a handful of beaches within easy walking distance. Hotel staff can send you off, stuffed hamper in hand, in the direction of the best for swimming, crowd-skirting or sandcastle building, but Jetties Beach is a reliable family-friendly option. If you have a hankering for some history, Brant Point Lighthouse is the country’s second oldest. And in town, the Old North Wharf is a time-warp of boat-builders’ workshops, warehouses and cedar-shingled fishermen’s shacks.
