“An intimate hotel nestled in Nantucket's historic district. Its design mixes Mediterranean and Portuguese elements, creating an eclectic, homey vibe, completed by a picturesque patio garden. No restaurant, but its prime location offers easy access to local eateries & the waterfront. A chic choice.”

Hotel review

Nestled in a historic Greek Revivalist townhouse in Nantucket, Blue Iris by Life House stands out for its unique blend of tranquility and accessibility. With only 12 rooms, it offers a private and upscale experience, boasting a location that balances proximity to Nantucket's vibrant scene with the quiet of a residential street. Each room showcases an eclectic mix of Portuguese art, Mediterranean design, and nautical accents, creating a charming and serene seaside ambiance. The property features a secret garden patio for leisurely afternoons and a daily complimentary breakfast with simple yet delightful options. While it doesn't house a restaurant, it's just a short walk from various local dining spots, including Sister Ship, affiliated with Life House.
