Chatham Bars Inn Resort and Spa

We spent two nights at the Inn and our experience was mostly positive, but there are a few things we wish we had known before we went. First, this is a large property-25 acres according to the website. There are rooms in the main building where three of the four restaurants are located, but most of the rooms are in cottages strung out around the property. We had a cottage room that was on the ocean side of the road and was about 200 yards from the entrance to the main building, which is on the opposite side of the road from the ocean. This was fine in good weather, but if it was raining or cold, walking to and from the main building a couple times each day to eat would have been inconvenient. Second, the fitness center is not located in the main building, but probably 100-200 yards away in a separate building among the cottages. Third, the hotel provides transportation to and from Chatham. Use it. It is very fast and parking in Chatham is a pain. We never waited more than 5 minutes for a pickup. And despite what we were told, it is a bit of a hike to town on roads with no sidewalks, so not the best for returning to the hotel at night. Fourth, the bathrooms (at least ours) was small and had only a single pedestal sink with very little counter space. No double sink with a long connecting countertop as in most newer hotels. My wife juggled to find room for her cosmetics, hair dryer, and curling iron. Lastly, the food at the hotel is excellent, as good as any we had anywhere in town or even better. The service is top notch and the staff are friendly and accommodating. If you are considering the Chatham Arms, go for it. Just remember, it is an Historic Hotel for a reason.

Beautiful place - across from the water with great views. Can walk into downtown Chatham. Restaurants are great as is the outside bar area. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Extraordinary stay. The customer service was exceptional and the property is gorgeous. I would say the customer service was one of the best I've experienced in years. Bravo to the CBI!

What a weekend! Always a great experience staying at CBI. Going to look into the Fall dinner events and then start putting a weekend together for the summer!
