Reduced Rates at Nantucket’s Luxurious Wauwinet

During economic tough times, there are deals to be had close to home. Many luxury hotels are cutting us a break so we can embark on a quest for stylish summer fun without breaking the bank. Case in point: The Wauwinet, Nantucket's most luxurious hideaway, which has slashed rates to $500 a night (vs. the usual $700+ during the summer peak season). Situated on the water nine miles from town, this Relais and Chateaux property is elegance incarnate. After a full breakfast each morning (included), you can stroll along the beach (or go for a run with the iPods provided by the hotel), bike through town, or relax with yoga or at the island's first resort spa. In the evening, the hotel hosts an aperitif with port, sherry, and cheese.
