The award-winning Chatham Bars Inn Resort & Spa was built in 1914 as a semi-private hunting lodge. Its hub, the Main Inn, has been beautifully restored to provide Chatham visitors a sophisticated place to stay, with original features such as the grand staircase retaining the property's charm and elegance.
Families can enjoy the beach and pool areas, while adults looking for a quieter retreat can relax in the resort's extensive spa. The Main Inn’s restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with beautiful views across the ocean, or guests can dine right by the beach at the Beach House Grill.
Chatham is one of our favourite options on Cape Cod and the resort has a prime location here, with its short walk to the main street, fantastic ocean views and luxury accommodation. Its many activities and facilities mean that guests of all ages are sure to enjoy their stay.

Rooms
The hotel's Main Inn offers both Deluxe rooms and Ocean View rooms, as well as spacious Ocean View Suites, which offer an additional queen size sofa bed for families. There's also the Ocean View Presidential Suite, which has two en suite bedrooms — one with a four-poster king size bed and one with two queen size beds, as well as a living/dining area, two fireplaces, a wet bar and a private deck with sweeping ocean views.
The cottage rooms also offer guests Deluxe and Ocean View options, with the former located behind the Main Inn close to the golf course and the latter situated along the bluff or next to the Main Inn overlooking Chatham Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Suite options come with a queen size sofa bed in their separate living rooms, making them ideal for families. Many of the cottage rooms and suites also have their own private deck or patio.
The adult-only Spa Suites, located above the spa, provide guests with additional room facilities, including a steam shower, hydrotherapy bath and sauna, and access to the spa's outdoor relaxation pool and Japanese Zen garden.
