The White Elephant: History of the Hotel & Its Name
The historic White Elephant Hotel, a hub of activity during the Nantucket Wine Festival, is located on historic Nantucket Harbor and has been host to guests since the 1920s. The White Elephant was originally an assemblage of old houses and buildings that Elizabeth Temple Ludwig began gathering in 1917 on a prime spot near the Children’s Beach.
