Sleepover Party: "You're never too old for a good, old-fashioned sleep-over party. So gather the ladies and stay at a hotel that feels like the most luxurious home-away-from-home: one with an in-house restaurant, spa, the works.
Take The Wauwinet Inn in Nantucket, Mass, for example, with its mere 32 rooms. You and the girls can book spa appointments at their Spa By The Sea, then grab cocktails and dinner at its restaurant, TOPPER'S. A girls'-night-in has never been so satisfying." ColinCowieWeddings.com

Accolades
Northshore
"Vintage-style rooms offer a relaxing feel for all guests and help shape that wonderful escape-for-the-weekend feeling Just steps from peaceful beachfronts, the Wauwinet is a staple of Nantucket's beauty and is not to be missed."
Vogue
"Facing the Nantucket Sound on the island's easternmost tip is the picturesque Wauwinet inn. Between lobster expeditions, cooking lessons with the Chef, beachfront yoga, and late afternoon tennis, there’s just enough time left in the day for a visit to the inn’s cottage-like Spa by the Sea. Surrounded by a perennial garden - lavender and sage are freshly picked for foot baths - the spa offers sea-inspired treatments like the skin-polishing Atlantic Seaweed body wrap."
Johnny Jet
"...one of the finest boutique hotels in the world"
Entrée
"... attention to detail that shows up in ways that are both expected and delightfully unexpected."
Victoria
"The Wauwinet hotel blends an idyllic, traditional New England setting with luxury amenities."
Islands
"... this spa (Spa by the Sea), promises an experience you will savor."
Boston Common
"The view is very Gatsby, and the truffle fries possibly the best ever."
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."
