Chatham, MA

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Chatham Bars Inn has been a luxury resort since 1914. The National Trust has named it a Historic Hotel of America and is also a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. It celebrated its 83rd birthday with an extensive restoration program. Brown, Richardson & Rowe assisted with the conversion of the back of the Inn to the main entry and with the design of the new outdoor spa.

The elegant and restrained design suits the Inn's history and level of service. Understated signage and planting clarify the arrival sequence to guests. The outdoor portion of the Inn's new spa is a restful retreat with native plants, massage cabanas and trellises. We refined the design of the existing swimming pool to make it accessible.
