Chatham Bars Inn is one of the most iconic luxury oceanfront resorts on Cape Cod, located in the charming seaside town of Chatham, Massachusetts. Originally opened in 1914, this historic New England resort blends classic coastal elegance with modern luxury, offering guests an unforgettable stay along one of the most beautiful stretches of shoreline in the Northeast.


Set on a quarter mile of private beach overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the resort feels both grand and timeless. The historic Main Inn features beautifully appointed guest rooms and suites, while private cottages are scattered throughout the manicured grounds, many with balconies, decks, or terraces offering sweeping ocean views. The property’s architecture and design capture the essence of classic Cape Cod style — crisp white exteriors, nautical touches, and warm coastal charm.

Whether you’re visiting for a romantic coastal getaway, a summer beach vacation, or a special celebration, the resort combines timeless hospitality with the natural beauty of Cape Cod.
