Blue Iris by Life House

This was an incredibly lovely stay on Nantucket! I can't say enough about this sweet little boutique hotel. We'd happily stay here every time we visit Nantucket! Property/Amenities: It's small, with only about 12 rooms. But its size makes you feel like you're at a family guest house--if that family member is super stylish and chic, yet comfortable and welcoming. The entry room/indoor lounge is a cozy living room with plush couches and a few tables. The absolute stunner is the outdoor terrace area, though. There are half a dozen cafe tables under a shade canopy, as well as outdoor couches and armchairs in one area and a fire pit with more chairs in another area. The flowers and landscaping are absolutely gorgeous and lush. The wifi reaches to the outdoor area, so I was able to take some virtual work meetings outside. The hotel also has four bicycles to use around the island, which was a fun amenity. They also provide a small breakfast (pastries and overnight oats with tea and coffee) as well as a daily cocktail hour. So fun! Room: We stayed in a standard queen room, which was well sized, but not large by any means. The bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable, as were the plush robes. The bathroom was large with amazing Le Labo products. We were glad to have a desk, mini fridge, and smart TV in the room. No issues with noise. Service: All of the staff we met were helpful, kind, and eager to make our stay wonderful. They helped us store luggage both before our room was ready and after we checked out, allowing us to enjoy more time unencumbered exploring Nantucket.

We just came back from spending two days on Nantucket Island. This was a last minute getaway with two friends. The hotel is very cute and well located in a quiet street in the town. The staff at the Blue Iris was amazing. Sarah and Christian were very friendly and professional. There woman that greeted us when we arrived was also great and ready to help with anything we needed. The evening receptionist too was very helpful, we were cold and she provided an additional comforter. We got an upgrade to a two bedroom suite that opened into a beautiful courtyard where we had a delicious breakfast. The toiletries are from Le LaBo. We took three hotel bikes all day and went to Cisco beach. The hotel also provided beach towels. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you!

Not a place for kids or people looking for a full-service hotel, but terrific for singles or couples who are looking for a clean, comfortable, good-sized room with a boutique-y vibe. Excellent location for those who want to be on a quiet street while just a couple blocks from Main Street and the ferries. Very friendly staff too. Pricey for what is is, but that’s Nantucket.
