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.

Property was exceptional, staff was amazing. Classic New England charm with an easy walk to town. We unfortunately ended up with a sad room in the main building with a horrible view of the air conditioning units on the roof. Putting that aside, the stay was comfortable and top level.

Travelled with my adult daughter for a weekend break from her study in Boston. We had a hiccup at the start when we were "upgraded" to a suite only to find the suite was located on the ground floor at the back of a cottage with the bedroom having no water views and a dark corridor down to a separate small sitting area with a distance view of the water through a fence. Thankfully, staff were responsive and we were ultimately moved to a cottage room in the category we booked with a light and bright room with two queen beds with a good view of the water. We were super appreciative of the response. This was a wonderful stay, with a clean room and comfortable bed. Everything felt luxurious, as expected with a five star establishment. Dinner at Stars restaurant was special and superb. Staff, particularly the door staff, were great and the complimentary Lexus transport cars worked really well. If you want spa services, book early as we could not get spa services for both of us a week out from our arrival. We were also unable to get a booking for the Easter brunch but that was our fault for not thinking ahead as it looking very popular. Read less

We stayed at the Chatham Bars Inn for two nights in a king cottage one bedroom suite.

We stayed at the Chatham Bars Inn for two nights in a king cottage one bedroom suite. What a gorgeous room and our view from the balcony was wonderful (it was a bit foggy the second day but we knew it was there)! The only caveat was the bath/shower which was very high to get into, and it was a bit awkward to lean all the way over the tub and turn on the shower; this could pose an issue for people with less mobility. This was a small issue, however, and everything else in the room was awesome, with a wet bar, refrigerator and lots of storage. The gentleman at the front desk who checked us in was charming, and service at the bar was very good as well. Our room service person was wonderful, leaving us with an immaculate room and some tasty chocolate. Hopefully we can get back soon! Read less

The Easter Buffet at the Chatham Barrs Inn was a mixed bag. The seafood buffet was extravagant and fabulous. Everything was fresh and very good. The other food choices were good, the lamb very dry.

The Easter Buffet at the Chatham Barrs Inn was a mixed bag. The seafood buffet was extravagant and fabulous. Everything was fresh and very good. The other food choices were good, the lamb very dry. Plenty of bread options and salad/cheese choices. We were warmly greeted and taken to a great table with a beautiful view of the ocean. The problem was the waitstaff. We had to take our own plates to the maitre ‘d desk between courses. We also had to go to the desk to ask for more silverware. We had to ask several times for a cup of coffee. We are usually generous tippers but didn’t think the automatic 20% added gratuity on the bill was justified in this case. I hope things improve because we love the Chatham Barrs Inn! Read less

We were a group of nine meeting at CBI to celebrate birthdays that turned into a wonderful family reunion. From arrival to departure the folks at CBI were all friendly, efficient, accommodating and thoughtful. Many unexpected special touches throughout the long weekend. Amazing ocean front location in an historic building with many special artifacts and period art. Large clean rooms, nightly turn down service. Again, the staff brings the experience to another level.
