About Life House\u002c Nantucket
It may seem odd to follow up three Miami-area boutique hotels with a restoration of the oldest continually operating hotel in Nantucket, but what the Life House hotels share is less a copy-paste stylistic identity and more a conceptual approach — one that prizes authenticity and fidelity to the uniqueness of the setting. This old sea captain’s house became an inn in the 1830s, and while it’s been thoroughly redesigned — and functionally been brought up to 21st-century luxury-boutique standards — it’s full of details that suggest a long and eclectic history. A fine breakfast is the only meal served, unless you count afternoon tea in the gardens, but from this location you’re meant to get out and explore the town, which has no shortage of excellent restaurants among its many charms.
