Chatham Bars Inn | Cape Cod, New England | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Cape Cod, New England

4.5 stars

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.

“A wonderful winter getaway (summer's not too shabby either!)”

Dec 27, 2025Tom S

We thought we'd stay at Chatham Bars Inn (Cape Cod) over Christmas this year, tho we'd stayed there years ago during summers before purchasing a property on Cape Cod. We can recommend this resort highly, with the caveat that it's pricey - but worth it for those who can afford the cost. Our Christmas stay was cozy and a good choice as to location. Daytime we sat reading by an "open fire" in their oversized lounge, with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree to one side. In fact the main building was decorated throughout, with many photo ops, including their sizable wooden models of historic 19th century ships encased in large, standing glass displays. One guest was a concert level pianist who studied at Julliard and had toured internationally. Periodically during the afternoon of Christmas eve he entertained us at the lounge piano with Chopin - his specialty. Christmas dinner, which should be booked in advance, is literally a feast. A prix fixe meal with turkey, ham, and steak carving boards, many chafing dishes, an incredible raw bar which could supply a meal in itself (caviar, lobster along with the usual shrimp, oysters, clams and more), along with a huge variety of breads - and tables piled on with multiple and varied Christmas desserts - will satisfy the most voracious appetite. The view from the long veranda at dawn was spectacular during our stay - we really lucked out. Among the photos below is one which Homer must have had in mind when he wrote of the "rosy-fingered dawn". It was taken shortly before 7am on Christmas day. So don't rule out a winter visit to Chatham Bars, and definitely consider time for the summer, too. The beach is wonderful, and especially consider taking the service boat out to the sand bar. We loved the experience, especially sinking our overtaxed feet deep into squishy sand. You can bring over beach chairs and read, or just stare ahead into the Atlantic Ocean. One piece of advice, though, from a local. If you're a beach person, the safest time to book a Cape Cod vacation is early July to mid-August. June can be overly cool and not beach-friendly, and it usually starts to get cooler a couple of weeks into August. On the other hand, that's the peak tourist season, and things get crowded if you plan to tour the wider Cape. So be aware that fall is also a lovely time to visit the Cape. The crowds are gone, and if it's peace you seek you could do a lot worse than visit in September or October.

“The perfect New England resort.”

This resort was absolutely perfect. My wife, son and I spent a night in one of the cabins this December. We could not have been happier with our experience. We were greeted at the door by Michael, who was exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and he set the tone for our amazing stay. The staff was extremely friendly, the facility immaculate, and the buildings themselves were impeccable and in incredible condition. Our meal at Sacred Cod was delicious. Start with the lobster nachos! We are so grateful to the team at Chatham Bars Inn, and we cannot wait to return! It sets the standard for New England resort.
