About Chatham Bars Inn

Chatham Bars Inn is a full-service oceanfront resort with 217 individually decorated rooms and suites, an exclusive spa, exceptional dining, private beach and endless recreational and boating options. Chatham Bars Inn was originally developed in 1914, as a semi-private hunting lodge for wealthy 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. Under its present owner, Chatham Bars Inn has undergone a $100 million renovation that has 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. Chatham Bars Inn is located at 297 Shore Road in Chatham, MA. Chatham Bars Inn also owns and operates the Chatham Bars Inn Farm, located at 3034 Main Street (Route 6A) in Brewster, MA. For more information, please visit www.ChathamBarsInn.com.
