Two new private cottages at the Nantucket Hotel & Resort bring vibrant floral charm and island elegance through a creative collaboration between Lilly Pulitzer, designer Michael Kramer, Lee Jofa, and Benjamin Moore.
A bold new take on resort style
Interior designer Michael Kramer of Michael Thomas & Co. has joined forces with iconic fashion brand Lilly Pulitzer to redesign two private cottages at the Nantucket Hotel & Resort, part of a growing collection of immersive guest experiences by Little Gem Resorts.
This collaboration marks the third Lilly-themed resort space with the hotel group, following cottages at The Winnetu Oceanside Resort in Martha’s Vineyard and Lovango Resort and Beach Club in the US Virgin Islands.
“We wanted these cottages to feel like garden parties you never want to leave,” said Michael Kramer. “They’re playful but sophisticated, designed for the guest who wants luxury and personality in equal measure,.”
Brimming with pattern, print, and personality
Using the latest Lilly Pulitzer fabric and wallcovering collection with Lee Jofa, Kramer infused each space with print-layered charm. The two-bedroom cottage features floral themes across rooms, anchored by custom upholstery, hand-painted murals, and a hand-shelled fireplace. Coastal tones like Benjamin Moore’s “Straw Hat” and “Bird’s Egg” serve as bright yet soothing backdrops, while whimsical accents like a vintage Circa Who chandelier and custom Pooky Lighting sconce shades elevate the playful atmosphere.
Suzanne Cohen, Chief Marketing Officer at Lee Jofa, noted:
“The curated print selection is exceptional… The ‘Costa Verde’ chevron repeat, presented in various colorways across upholstery and wallcovering, lends an ethereal quality. We are thrilled to partner again on a collection with Lilly Pulitzer and have our brands chosen for this important project,.”
A special homecoming for Lilly Pulitzer
“Nantucket is a very important resort town where Lilly Pulitzer has celebrated along with the community for decades,” said Mira Fain, Chief Creative Officer at Lilly Pulitzer.
“The Summer Cottages at The Nantucket are the perfect combination of all the things the Lilly brand stands for: a world of Lilly’s signature prints in an exquisite color palette, all wrapped up in a chic resort lifestyle. We are thrilled guests can check into these beautiful cottages, receive an instant dose of our uplifting brand, and build everlasting memories.”
Nantucket Hotel owner Gwenn Snider added:
“The hotel enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to redesign our one- and two-bedroom east cottages and work with Benjamin Moore, Lee Jofa, and Lilly Pulitzer to reveal a seaside-inspired collaboration for Nantucket By Design,.”
Now open for bookings
The designer cottages officially open to the public on July 17, aligned with Nantucket By Design event week. Guests are invited to book their stays and experience these bold, breezy getaways firsthand.
