Entertaining Various Male Guests is No Problem at the Wauwinet

Where: 120 Wauwinet Road [map], Nantucket, MA, United States, 02554

Staying in Nantucket is not supposed to offer sleek design, hip clubs, and modern décor. It's something you have to realize before booking and take in the old-world charm and royal airs of New England's snooty island.

The New York Post recently checked out the Wauwinet Relais & Chateaux in Nantucket, an Inn built in 1860 with beachfront property and an upscale restaurant.

The hotel is not a cheap one, starting at $460 and requiring a two night minimum. Two people however, are not required and single status was notably not questioned:

I'd reserved a room for two, but arrived solo. No one questioned where my companion was...While in house, I entertained a variety of guests - bringing one male friend to dinner and another to drinks on the same night. No one raised an eyebrow.

After a rude awakening fire alarm, complimentary coffee was brought to the Post guest's room and the maitre d' apologize for the false alarm and inquired if she would be needing coffee for one or two persons.

Although it wasn't mentioned, we assume at this point the maitre d' was desperately trying to catch a glimpse of the scene behind the cracked hotel room. This whole charade of entertaining in rooms, looking the other way, but nonchalantly inquiring about the number of guests in a room, leaves us dizzy with curiosity. The floral duvets and Chinaware teacups don't fool us, the behavior of upper-class New England plays out like the rest of the world...they too, stay in hotels for sex.
