White Elephant offers Nantucket, Palm Beach travel deal with Slate Aviation
The Palm Beach boutique hotel White Elephant on Sunset Avenue and a locally based shared-charter aviation company are engaged in a collaboration aimed at offering travelers enticing perks. It's part of a new partnership between the hotel's parent, Boston-based White Elephant Resorts — which also owns hotels in Nantucket, Massachusetts — and West Palm Beach-based Slate Aviation. Through October, guests of the 32-room-and-suites White Elephant in Palm Beach and its Nantucket sister hotels can receive $250 off one-way fares on Slate's semi-private charter flights between Palm Beach and Nantucket. They also are entitled to a gratis six-month four-person membership ($395 value) to Slate Aviation, whose aircraft offer private-terminal departures — bypassing TSA security-check lines — and 18 business-class seats in all. Meanwhile, flyers with Slate Aviation, the new marketing name of Tri State Aviation, receive 15% off room rates at White Elephant Palm Beach, 180 Sunset Ave., and its Nantucket sisters. The Nantucket properties include the White Elephant Nantucket, The Wauwinet, Jared Coffin House, and Cottages & Lofts at the Boat Basin. 'Many of our guests already divide their time between the two islands (Palm Beach and Nantucket) and this collaboration makes that journey more effortless than ever,' Ashish Verma, executive vice president of White Elephant Resorts, told the Daily News. 'It's about extending the signature White Elephant experience of service, style and hospitality from one beloved setting to the next.' Slate Aviation officials agree: 'The White Elephant and Slate share a similar clientele interested in superior hospitality, convenience and sophistication,' company co-owner Heather Maguire told the Daily News. 'And with a presence in both Nantucket and Palm Beach, we saw that they were a natural route-launch partner for an all-business class airline offering nonstop service between the two destinations.' Slate's planes fly non-stop to and from the Northeast from Palm Beach International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports. Slate serves Westchester County Airport in New York and Nantucket Memorial Airport in Massachusetts, among others. This isn't the first partnership Slate has forged with a Palm Beach-connected business. This past spring, Slate partnered with popular Palm Beach restaurant Buccan, 350 S. County Road, led by seven-times James Beard Warad chef-nominee Clay Conley. Buccan signed on in May to provide Slate's custom inflight menu for flyers, a 'fun new challenge,' Conley said at the time. Such partnerships provide a 'special, personalized experience for our guests,' Slate's Maguire said.
