At a glance
Hob Knob is a 17-room luxury boutique hotel in a 19th-century Gothic Revival inn in central Edgartown, on Martha’s Vineyard.
The building dates to the late 1800s and has taken guests for nearly a century, hosting a young John F. Kennedy in the 1940s; the door to his room is still kept by the front desk. It has just 17 rooms and suites, decorated with antiques, fine art, and coastal New England touches, with Frette linens and private baths.
This is an inn rather than a resort. Breakfast is farm-to-table, with the kitchen’s well-known scones, and afternoon tea is included, but there is no dinner restaurant; the concierge books you into Edgartown’s. There is a small spa, a fitness center and steam room, a wraparound porch, and a garden terrace.
It is quiet, eco-conscious, and pet-friendly, and it suits couples, gay or straight, after a low-key island weekend. The village is a few blocks away, and Martha’s Vineyard Airport is about 10 minutes.

Accommodation
Private Suites
The Hob Knob Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa has two deluxe private suites. Both are luxurious and feature king-size beds, signature amenities, living rooms and kitchenettes.
Deluxe Rooms
There are three deluxe rooms on the top floor. Each one has skylights and dormered windows that overlook Hob Knob’s gardens and terraces. None of the rooms share walls with other rooms, so a feeling of privacy is guaranteed. Each deluxe room has a kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, sink, coffeemaker, dishes and utensils.
Standard Rooms
There are twelve guest rooms located on the first and second floors. All come with king-sized beds. The standard guest rooms have beautifully outfitted private baths with tubs and showers. All rooms have unique artworks by local artists.

Dining
Hob Knob is not a restaurant-led hotel. What it does well is breakfast, farm-to-table and included in the rate, built around its locally sourced scones and a choice of yogurt parfait or fresh fruit and a hot dish. Afternoon tea, also included, is served in the gardens or sitting rooms. There is no dinner service, but the concierge books tables across Edgartown, with strong options like Alchemy, The Seafood Shanty, and Behind the Bookstore all within a short walk.
Wellness
The Hob Knob Spa is a small in-house spa offering massage, with a fitness center and steam room on-site. The mood is restful rather than full-service, in keeping with a 17-room inn. Much of the relaxing happens in the common spaces: a drawing room with a fireplace, cozy sitting rooms, and a wraparound porch that leads out to a garden terrace, where tea is served. The concierge can also arrange off-site spa treatments around the island.
Location
Hob Knob is on Upper Main Street in central Edgartown, a few blocks from the village center, with its harbor, shops, galleries, and restaurants all walkable. You do not need a car: the island is easy to cover on foot or by bike, with public buses and taxis on hand. Joseph Sylvia State Beach is about three miles away and Edgartown Golf Club is one mile away. The airport is roughly 10 minutes away, with year-round ferries to Vineyard Haven.
