Overview:
Indulge in Cape Cod Luxury
Chatham Bars Inn was originally built in 1914 by Charles Hardy as a hunting lodge and it became popular with Boston vacationers. Early advertisements boasted of "plastered, soundproof accommodations with electric lights, steam heat, long distance telephones, and private bathrooms featuring both fresh and salt water baths."
The Inn soon operated its own farm, which provided fresh produce and dairy products for guests’ meals. It quickly earned a reputation as Cape Cod’s most beautiful address.
Chatham Bars Inn is currently family owned, having undergone an extensive renovation in 2006 that left nothing untouched. All rooms in the Main Inn were completely renovated, as were its restaurants and public spaces. The cottages were completely redesigned and redecorated. Old world charm was retained but updated with every modern convenience and amenity. Further enhancements continue to be made on an ongoing basis.
Since then, the Inn has won numerous awards including the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Hotel award. A member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection, the Inn was recognized as the #1 Hotel of the Year Overall Worldwide in the 2023 Preferred Hotels & Resorts Awards of Excellence. Further accolades include being voted #8 in the World in the 2023 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards, #1 Best Waterfront Hotel in the USA TODAY 2022 10Best Readers' Choice Travel Awards, and #1 Best Historic Hotel in the Historic Hotels of America’ 2022 Awards of Excellence. The Inn's spa and restaurants have received additional accolades. The Inn has also been awarded several accolades by the Massachusetts Lodging Association including “Community Service Leader of the Year” for its ongoing commitment to protecting the local environment and “Innovative Hotel of the Year” for its spa products utilizing produce sourced from the Farm.
