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.

The Place to Stay in the USA

Wonderful Resort hotel with great sea views and excellent staff and service standards - nothing is too much trouble. Cannot be faulted.
Good not great

It was fine, the fireplace and beach walk were the best part. Compared to other stays in the area it was average and it won’t be somewhere we want to come back. Happy we saw the property and experience it, it’s a good check off the bucket list.
If it ain’t broke…

What can I say! Always a top notch experience. We had a stand alone “cabin” and loved it. This had to be one of America’s classic hotels. Staff, view, food everything is always amazing. Will be back next year for sure! Thank you for a perfect stay!
You must go! You’ll thank me later!

Absolutely amazing!! Lived up to every incredible review we read. 5 Star customer service! 5 Star food. The location is amazing. From the bell staff, housekeeping, front desk and beyond. The town is also so charming. Can’t wait to go back. This will now be an annual trip and we now want to move to Chatham. Haha!

I had the most magical solo weekend that recharged my soul at Chatham Bars Inn. It is the perfect place to refill your tank. The Inn was beautifully decorated and felt like what Christmas should feel like, the guests were dressed for holiday cheer, and everyone is always so welcoming from the staff at CBI! The food is always creative and luxurious, I dream about the fluffy pancakes!!! I enjoyed time in the spa which is also one of my favorites in New England. I highly recommend visiting! It’s not just for Summer! The walk down town got me in the shopping mood too. It’s such a great location. Cheers
