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.

Our stay at CBI for this Labor Day was above and beyond all expectations. All interaction with hotel staff was exceptional. From the front desk, valet and baggage, housekeeping, dining servers, pool and beach workers all workers were attentive and genuine. The food was excellent at all property venues. Our room with a deck and beautiful view in the main inn was perfect. It was not our first time at CBI and will certainly not be our last. This stay was a delightful way to celebrate our anniversary and the end of the summer season We are all ready planning Thanksgiving

Excellent Food and Service

Excellent food and service. Arrive early to avoid the wait (always a good sign). Our server was personable and the entrees were out of this world. First class, including the excellent valet service. Will definitely go back!

Chatham Bars Inn is undeniably a stunning location with friendly staff, beautiful views and good amenities. All of this is diminished by the consistent overcrowding and access for non residents to all bar areas with no capacity control. Back to back weddings that occupy the dining facilities and impossible to get a drink at any of the bars which were all over capacity. No area is immune from small children, even the bar areas after 9pm. You have paid for a view but cannot enjoy an evening cocktail as others are queuing in line. We ended up buying beers to take to the beach. Very much not what you expect for the price and also the ‘exclusivity’. It would seem maximising dollars takes priority over guest enjoyment. We loved the venue but would not return and would warn others about the failure to provide any space for hotel guests to relax.

Long time guest. Property is pretty good.

Great location. Nice amenities. Overall experience for price is getting unsettling. Food in Stars is very good. Breakfast options are plentiful.
Nice place but

Very nice resort with great staff and quality only criticisms include that the rooms are a little dated and the cardio and lifting machines on the gym are essentially dirty and very old.
