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.

We loved our stay at CBI. We chose the deluxe queen room which was small but suited our purposes. It was well appointed, clean and had a small balcony. The grounds are beautiful, the interior of the inn is lovely and it had many seating spaces for relaxing, enjoying morning coffee or afternoon cocktails.

We loved our stay at CBI. We chose the deluxe queen room which was small but suited our purposes. It was well appointed, clean and had a small balcony. The grounds are beautiful, the interior of the inn is lovely and it had many seating spaces for relaxing, enjoying morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. We ate breakfast on the veranda which was delicious, if a bit pricey for a buffet. The buffet was extensive though with fresh and prepared offerings. The staff was friendly, attentive and so helpful- from the front desk to the bellman to the restaurant staff. We were able to get rides into town and back if desired. A perfect amenity for some very hot days. Read less

I along with a ton of families I have booked, have stayed and keep returning to this gem of a property as it’s beautiful and extremely family friendly, a rare combo. Breakfast and resort credit included and a surplus of cribs and high chairs makes you feel at ease while traveling with young children. Link in my bio if wanting info on how to get… Read more

It's unfortunate that I have to write this but I used the "complimentary valet" service at the Chatham Bars Inn, Chatham, MA last week (June 20th, 2024) to meet friends for lunch at the restaurant by the beach. I was parked for about 2 1/2 hours. I got my car from the valet after lunch and left the parking lot. I realized that my professional grade camera was missing from my car. There was no evidence of anyone trying to break in so either the door was left unlocked or the valet was the only one with access to it. I contacted the hotel, where one of the employees told me that the car could likely have been left unlocked and they apparently don't have any security footage of where my car was parked. I filed a police report. The hotel has denied any wrongdoing, refused to compensate me in any way and says that their policy is that they're not responsible for thefts, even though they said that the car could have likely been left unlocked. The hotel is located in a beautiful area, the parking lot is not large and you would make the assumption that your car would be locked and valuables are safe but apparently they're not. Just know that if you're a guest and anything of value goes "missing", the hotel will refuse to take any responsibility for it. Read less
