Chatham Bars Inn
An iconic beach getaway on Cape Cod
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Cape Cod doesn't get more iconic than the Chatham Bars Inn, a luxury resort that combines Old World charm with modern amenities in a serene seaside setting.
A top destination for weddings, family reunions and business conferences, the Inn offers seven meeting rooms equipped with built-in screens, LCD projectors and video conferencing capabilities, multiple function halls and private dining facilities — many with breathtaking ocean views.
The Chatham Bars Inn makes it a breeze to enjoy the best of Cape Cod, offering fishing charters and sunset sails and complimentary chauffeur service. But many guests prefer to simply relax on the sugar-fine sand of the Inn’s private beach, by the pool or in the full-service luxury spa. Families delight in the Inn’s impressive kids’ program from June through September, and the variety of outdoor activities for all ages, offered year-round.
