Circa 1833. Stay at the Century House to "discover the freedoms of Nantucket!" This historic inn first opened its doors in 1833. Considered "an inn of distinction on an island of charm," it quickly became the preferred lodging for sophisticated travelers visiting this Massachusetts beach resort area with its breezy, cliff-top location and wraparound veranda. Sensible yet luxurious, the Century House offers a stress-free vacation or inviting weekend getaway. It is just a short stroll to downtown and the Atlantic Ocean from this quiet, residential neighborhood. Experience the romance of Nantucket Island with world-class amenities, exquisite air-conditioned guest bedrooms and free wireless Internet access. Savor homemade cookies and breads in the afternoon and hearty, Gerry's Berry Buffet Breakfast is served each morning with a cosmopolitan flair.
