Hob Knob
Welcome to the Hob Knob, a 19th century gothic revival home transformed into the island's premier eco-boutique hotel. Whether you stay in our 17-room Hob Knob hotel or prefer the exclusive privacy of your very own Hob Knob House, guests can expect individualized Hob Knob hospitality and modern luxury amenities in a relaxed atmosphere that embraces authentic Vineyard life. Hob Knob – to mix, socialize or rub elbows. It's a way of life that's part and parcel to the residents & visitors of Martha's Vineyard. Through no coincidence, the phrase also honors the bygone country home of Hob Knob proprietor Margaret “Maggie” H. White's grandparents. Set high on a hill known as the “knob,” the estate was presided over by the family matriarch, Helen Osborne Bruch, or H.O.B. It was Helen's beloved husband, Edward who christened the estate “Hob Knob.” Located moments from the heart of Edgartown and just a short stroll to the beach, today's Hob Knob has provided respite for generations of travelers – including a windblown and hungry Senator John Fitzgerald Kennedy during a Vineyard sailing regatta in 1947.
