The hotel

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.

Fantastic girls weekend! Food, drink, service were all top notch. Loved the ability to use the hotel bikes to bike into town and concierge car service made getting around easy. Definitely going to make this an annual getaway.

Overall, our experience was good, but far from matching the price point. We booked a room in one of the cottages, which was pretty well maintained and pleasant overall. The main downside is that the rooms are quite small and not insulated at all. We had loud neighbors in the room below for several hours and could clearly hear their conversations.… Read more

Because of this, the stay felt a bit overrated in terms of price versus the comfort offered. Read less

Beautiful location and room. Stunning area. Dining experience and "feeling special as a hotel guest" was poor. Seem to prioritise groups who are not hotel guests when eating and drinking in the hotel.
