Chatham Bars Inn
Set on a vast sandy beach with arresting views of the Atlantic Ocean, Chatham Bars Inn is one of the oldest and best of Cape Cod’s luxury hotels. Some of the most atmospheric rooms occupy the photogenic main house, built in 1914, while classic New England-style cottages are spread along a quarter of a mile of private beach. The newer Spa Suites are upstairs from the spa itself and are more contemporary in style, complete with saunas, steam showers and whirlpool baths. The spa itself is superb, set in a Zen garden with private steam showers, an outdoor pool and hot tub. Restaurants range from the more formal Stars with its panoramic views of Chatham Harbor to the Sacred Cod Tavern and the seasonal Beach House that spills out onto the sand.
