Hotel Details

Location

Just a 5-minute walk from the ferry terminal and downtown shops, Anchor Inn puts Nantucket's best within easy reach.

Set on Centre Street, the inn is a 6-minute walk from Children's Beach and 300 metres from the Whaling Museum. Brant Point Lighthouse is 1 km away, and Nantucket Memorial Airport is 5 km from the property. The neighbourhood is quiet yet central, with all restaurants, bars, and boutiques within a few minutes on foot. Free off-site parking is available for those arriving by car, though a car is not essential for exploring the historic core.

Accommodation

Rooms feature air conditioning, private bathrooms with walk-in showers, and city-view balconies in select units.

Each accommodation includes parquet floors, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a wardrobe, and free toiletries. Family rooms and interconnected rooms are available, making the inn suitable for groups. Some rooms add a seating area or a balcony overlooking Centre Street. While room sizes are typical for historic Nantucket properties, the atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and cosy. Upper-level rooms involve steep stairs; guests who prefer ground-floor access should request it at booking.

Dining

A complimentary continental breakfast with homemade quiche, fresh fruit, and pastries is served each morning.

Breakfast includes fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, bagels, muffins, coffee, and tea. The innkeeper often bakes quiche or other items. Seating is available in the breakfast room or on the patio garden - a peaceful way to start the day. There is no on-site restaurant or bar for other meals, but dozens of dining options are within a short walk, covering everything from casual seafood to fine dining.

Wellness and Leisure

The property offers a garden with sun loungers and a picnic area for relaxation.

Guests can unwind in the garden or outdoor seating area, which includes sun loungers and a picnic area. The shared lounge/TV room provides an indoor space to relax. There is no spa, pool, or fitness centre on site, but the nearby beaches and walking trails offer ample leisure opportunities. Bicycle parking is available for those exploring the island by bike.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi, express check-in/out, and luggage storage are available, along with daily housekeeping.

Complimentary WiFi covers all areas. Reception services include concierge, express check-in/out, private check-in/out, and free luggage storage.
