Greydon Hotel Group captures the spirit of Nantucket by weaving together the island’s rich maritime legacy with fresh, contemporary design across its distinctive portfolio of 7 properties, ranging from an 1803 inn to a former whaling-era outpost! The spaces have been revamped and reimagined while preserving much of the history and charm in the growing portfolio.
The group’s journey began with a deep appreciation for Nantucket’s historic charm and natural beauty, inspiring them to transform a 19th-century sea captain’s residence into their flagship, Greydon House, quickly recognized as one of the 21 Best Hotels in the USA, according to Fodor’s.
This 20-room boutique hotel honors the original Greek Revival architecture while infusing global design influences-from Moroccan tiles to Portuguese murals and Chinese accents-creating a sophisticated, yet inviting atmosphere. Guided by Roman and Williams, the design team behind New York’s famed The Standard, High Line, Greydon House delights guests with special touches to make their island stay all the more magical!
Beyond Greydon House, the group’s collection includes intentionally restored inns and private homes, each tailored to different traveler preferences, from the coastal elegance of Martin House Inn to the historic allure of The Periwinkle, all nestled within walking distance of Nantucket’s charming downtown and waterfront. Learn more about each of the Greydon Hotel Group’s stays below—with a thoughtfully crafted portfolio of private guest houses to boutique hotels and everything in between:
