Chatham Bars Inn
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.2/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Luxury resort in Chatham, Cape Cod, with a private beach, beach cottages, a pool, a spa and a tennis court, near the fish pier and the lighthouse.
Chatham Bars Inn has stood on the Chatham shoreline at the elbow of Cape Cod since 1914, and it keeps the shingled architecture typical of the area. The resort spreads across about 25 oceanfront acres, with a private beach, beach cottages and lounge chairs for a day in the sun. There is also a beach bar, shops on the property and a cafe.
The spa offers manicures, pedicures, deep-tissue massage and body wraps, and the grounds include a pool, a gym and a tennis court. On the dining side, the resort mentions its own farm supplying the restaurants with herbs and vegetables. Confirm with the hotel which venues are open on your dates and whether you should reserve a table, because the offering changes with the season.

The resort is on Shore Road along a coast open to the Atlantic, with paths leading down to the beach and well-kept gardens.
