Chatham Bars Inn

Cape Cod, New England

Virgin rating

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.

Almost anytime oy year is a great time to visit CBI, but my family is particularly partial to the Thanksgiving holiday which is truly a memorable experience for all of us.The Thanksgiving Buffet is exceptional and for those wanting to get a head start on the festive holidays, the decorations come out the day after Thanksgiving. Well Done CBI!

Breathtaking views of the Cape as she quietly bids farewell to Summer. No crowds but all the charm! Main Street attractions within walking distance is a game changer! No waits. No lines. Luxury everywhere. Add meaning to your precious minutes.

Upgraded to ocean view room. Not inexpensive but views were beautiful. Room was immaculate and house cleaning was very nice. Had No Hot water Saturday Morning. Cold shower. Called desk and water heater was fixed temporarily. Hot shower before Wedding. Cold shower again Sunday Morning. Front Desk was very apologetic at check out. Minus to cold but invigorating showers, a lovely location for the wedding and Chatham is a beautiful Cape Village. We would stay there again. Read less

Our bathroom had substantial mold and mildew around the tub/shower tile. Before we went to sleep, we had to clean several cobwebs off the ceiling. We heard good things about this place, but I would choose another venue.

The spa suite is the perfect getaway with loved ones. Girlfriend and I went there to celebrate. Ended up being breath taken by the amazing views and felt right at home by the exceptional staff. Would recommend this place to anyone who looked to relax and create precious memories with loved ones.
