About the book
Escape to Hotel Nantucket for a summer of sunshine, secrets and scandal... The ultimate summer page-turner from the internationally bestselling Queen of Beach Reads
Reeling from a bad break-up, Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a fresh start. When she's named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a Gilded Age gem whose glamour has been left to tarnish, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff can transform the hotel's fortunes - and her own.
All she needs to do is win over their new billionaire owner from London, Xavier Darling - and the wildly popular Instagram influencer, Shelly Carpenter, who can help put them back on the map. But behind the glossy façade, complete with wellness centre and celebrity chef-run restaurant, a perfect storm is brewing.
Hotel Nantucket can't seem to shake off the scandal of 1922, when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley - and the guests have complicated pasts of their own. With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, secrets among the staff, and Lizbet's own romantic uncertainty, there's going to be trouble in paradise...
Deliciously escapist, full of emotion, and with a dash of Roaring Twenties glamour, this is the perfect read from the bestselling 'Queen of the Summer Novel' (People)
Accolades
Praise for The Hotel Nantucket
I just LOVE her books, they are such compulsive reads
The Hotel Nantucket has lots to love: great food, juicy gossip, secrets and scandals, and that special something that Hilderbrand delivers novel after novel.
I like Elin Hilderbrand. You should, too. Her latest is “The Hotel Nantucket” (Little Brown, ), and like Stephen King, she brings knowing confidence to an abused genre
Bring on the fresh-baked gougères and the hydrangea-blue cashmere throws: A classic fictional setting-the grand hotel-gets the Hilderbrand treatment. The beloved beach novelist’s 28th book is another tour de force...Honestly, who needs Nantucket. It could hardly be more fun than this book.
Hilderbrand is the absolute queen of the beach reads, and her latest offering is dishy and fun, as a classic Nantucket hotel attempts to reinvent itself with a new billionaire owner. It might look glamorous on the outside, but behind closed doors, there is plenty of dysfunction among the staff, drama on the guest side, and a bad reputation the place can’t shake from a tragic fire in 1922.
"It doesn’t feel like summer unless I read an Elin Hilderbrand book, which I’ve done every year for almost a decade....They’re full of secrets and romantic drama and beaches. I’ve read my fair share of novels involving magic and dragons, but fancy New England island living often feels more fantastical to me than anything from George R.R. Martin.
One of Elin’s best books ever…Packed with great surprises, fabulous writing, and an army of wonderful characters, The Hotel Nantucket will keep you pinned to your beach chair until the very last page.
"Hilderbrand, who has perfected the romantic beach read, returns with a summer scandal at a Nantucket hotel, where fresh off a bad breakup, general manager Lizbet Keaton struggles to revive the storied but struggling business–and to write her own second act.
