Boston Common

Delta Sky
"...will do everything to gratify."
Fashion Boston
(The Wauwinet) ..."offers everything you need to leave the world behind."
Departures
"TOPPER'S is one of the best and most sophisticated on the island."
Marina Life
(TOPPER'S) "Its graceful deck is the preferred spot to watch the sun sink below the horizon over cocktails, before stepping into the dining room for a true feast."
Wine Spectator, Grand Award
"TOPPER"S at The Wauwinet has a 1,450-selection wine list that's worth a detour."
Travel + Leisure Golf
(TOPPER'S) "the inn's culinary jewel"
Forbes
"The atmosphere is one of quiet, simple indulgence, and its new Spa by the Sea remains true to the place's Yankee charm: It's housed in one of the property's original, cedar-shingled buildings, has only three treatment rooms and offers great views of the fog rolling in over the bay."
Spa Magazine
"In a stunning natural setting at the tip of Nantucket island with both ocean and bay views, The Wauwinet, a Relais & Châteaux property, is Nantucket's most luxurious hotel with divine dining, and highly personalized service. The cozy, elegantly appointed guest rooms and cottages offer the utmost in privacy and serenity."
Departures
"This beautifully restored and very private 28-room inn - with four additional cottages - is nine miles outside town. The grounds (and room 302) have sweeping bay views; its restaurant, TOPPER'S, is one of the best and most sophisticated on the island and a spa debuted last summer."
Fashion Boston
"Dinner at the resort's TOPPER'S is easily one of the best in New England, both for its rich menu (butter-basted lobster served with foie gras and kobe dim sum) and its hallucinatory view of Nantucket Sound at sunset."
Vanity Fair
"You can approach by boat, preferably with cocktail in hand. Situated on a remote tip of the island, the restaurant, from its gray shingles to its wicker chairs, is classic Nantucket. The menu - bay scallops, butter basted local lobster, chilled oysters - speaks of the sea better than Herman Melville ever did, and there are more than 1,000 wines to choose from."
