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.

First time visit and we enjoyed it. From the outstanding service at checkin until the time we left and everything in between was amazing. The only issue we had we the bed in the room. It was kind of old and I think the coils were worn so much that it was hard to get a good nights sleep. This is an easy fix and it won’t deter us from coming again.

You absolutely can't beat the view for breakfast at Stars, get up early to watch the sunrise, truly magical. Comfortable nice rooms, the fireplace was super cozy in the Fall would highly recommend. Some minor noise issues as mentioned in previous posts. Would definitely not hesitate to stay again!

I made my reservation with an Inn representative by phone since I had never been to the facility. I told the rep I wanted to be able to walk out to the beach from my room. I was given an ocean view room in the Breakwater cottage. The room itself was very nice and had a fireplace. However, the Breakwater cottage should be called Breakwind because it overlooks a commercial fish processing facility which stinks and is noisy. Needless to say we could not enjoy the balcony view because of the smell. I would highly recommend NOT being in the breakwater cottage. Also, it is not an easy walk to the beach. I complained but was told no other rooms were available. To be balanced, the bell service and the restaurants were great and the food was outstanding. Read less

Very disappointed with the hotel. First, we booked months in advance and were given a room on the 1st floor of Wicket house where we had to Schulp our 2 big suitcases up the steps and there is no lighting in the path towards the main hotel. The room was not well appointed too. Second, the maitre de at the restaurants and the servers were… Read more
Very disappointed with the hotel. First, we booked months in advance and were given a room on the 1st floor of Wicket house where we had to Schulp our 2 big suitcases up the steps and there is no lighting in the path towards the main hotel. The room was not well appointed too. Second, the maitre de at the restaurants and the servers were extremely slow. One instance at the restaurant when I asked if I could find a place to get a cafe latte to go, she told me to go to the complimentary room which served just regular coffee. I told her I was looking for a latte. She told me I would have to pay for it. If I am spending $800/- a nite here, would I care if I had to pay for it. How condescending does this sound.! Rooms were not worth the price! Read less
