Nantucket on a Lark: A Whimsical Guide to Island Adventures

July marks the opening of 21 Broad, Lark Hotels’ second property on the island of Nantucket. The hotel is housed in a restored 1876 building whose updated interiors blend historic charm with contemporary style. Rachel Reider Interiors, an award-winning design firm, crafted an “urban-meets-Nantucket” aesthetic that emphasizes natural materials and a relaxed, coastal vibe. The palette favors earth-toned linens, seagrass accents, mixed woods and a clean white-on-white foundation for a fresh, beach-inspired look.

Thoughtful amenities enhance the boutique experience. The property offers a steam and massage room and invigorating vitamin C showers. Guests can start their day at a breakfast juice bar that serves a variety of options alongside gluten-free artisan pastries. With just 27 rooms, 21 Broad maintains an intimate atmosphere while delivering modern conveniences such as in-room refrigerators and Keurig coffeemakers, LED smart televisions, iPad access and iPod docking stations. Complimentary WiFi and personalized concierge services add practical comfort.

The hotel’s location is convenient for travelers arriving by ferry, situated just around the bend from the Steamship Authority terminal. Public and shared spaces are designed for relaxation and socializing: a comfortable guest lounge with a game table, and a landscaped outdoor garden featuring a fire pit create spaces to unwind. These elements, paired with the property’s thoughtful design details, make 21 Broad a contemporary yet welcoming addition to Nantucket’s hospitality scene.
