Greeting guests since 1914, Chatham Bars Inn is a world-famous turn-of-the-century Cape Cod landmark. With public rooms returned to their original grandeur, it’s a fabulous place to enjoy a very comfortable stay, just minutes from the picture-perfect streets of Chatham itself. Overlooking a private stretch of golden beach, we highly recommend upgrading to take advantage of stunning ocean views – watching the waves come gently rolling in across the sand is nothing short of bliss! Also highly recommended is a trip to the spa – very Zen-like in atmosphere, it’s an oasis of peace and calm, complete with an outdoor relaxation pool and Vichy Shower Room. Choose from treatments such as Summer at the Shore and Citrus Sunset, guaranteed to chase your cares away. Whilst adults are at play, children will be having fun too at their very own kids' clubs. Beach Buddies is for younger children and The Clam Diggers is for those slightly older. Both offer an exciting array of activities including swimming lessons, tennis, sailing and themed parties. There’s plenty to do in the immediate area but not to be missed is a trip to Outer Beach, conveniently reached by complimentary shuttle and hailed as one of the most beautiful barrier beaches in the world! There are also lobstering cruises to join or hire a bike and cycle (rentals available nearby) the Cape Cod Rail Trail – 35 miles long, it winds its way through some very charming towns and villages.

We’ve been coming to Chatham Bars Inn for the past four years and have always stayed in premium rooms. Unfortunately, this visit has been a major letdown. The room we were given is shockingly small—with a pole in the middle and a door that’s barely five feet high. It feels cramped and uncomfortable, and yet we’re still being charged the premium rate. I’m truly disappointed and saddened. Sadly, this will be our last stay here.

We had such an amazing time at Chatham Bars Inn. The resort is absolutely beautiful – classic Cape Cod charm with stunning ocean views and perfectly kept grounds. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed and welcoming.
While we waited for our room, we grabbed drinks by the beach, and the beach staff couldn’t have been nicer. They were so friendly and made us feel at home right away – it was the perfect start to our stay.
Our room was lovely and super comfortable, and the whole property has this calm, easygoing feel that made it so easy to unwind. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service across the board was excellent.
We’re already looking forward to going back!
