A Cape Cod institution, Chatham Bars Inn was a pioneer when it opened in 1914. It had an onsite farm long before farm-to-table cuisine became a restaurant trend, soundproofed accommodations and private bathrooms featuring fresh and saltwater baths. The family-owned hotel’s amenities and prized 25-acre waterfront location drew prominent guests such as Henry Ford, William Rockefeller Jr. and Princess Juliana of the Netherlands (who stayed there in the summer during her World War II exile).
