Cape Cod’s Chatham Bars Inn celebrates its 100th anniversary on June 9. To mark the centennial, the 217-room resort is planning a year-long program of events, special offers and nostalgic touches designed to honor a century of hospitality while offering modern comforts.
The resort will share centennial announcements, event details and promotions on social media using the hashtag #CBI100 and invites guests and followers to post their memories and photos with the same tag.
“Chatham Bars Inn is that rare place that invites guests to take a nostalgic step into a simpler era while providing every modern comfort they expect in the 21st century,” said Paul Zuest, general manager of Chatham Bars Inn. “Our owners — only three families since 1914 — have carefully guided the resort through the decades, bringing us to this historic milestone. One hundred years after the Inn first opened, we can take pride in a remarkable past and look forward to a bright future.”
- Centennial celebration highlights include:
- Birthday ice cream social (June 9)
- Lawn games, a speakeasy and a Roaring ’20s costume ball (June 14)
- Special centennial rate of $191.40 on select dates throughout the year
- A two-night centennial package (from $720) that includes two centennial cocktails on arrival, a $100 food-and-beverage credit, a $100 spa credit and a commemorative centennial gift
The centennial activities mix classic, nostalgic experiences with contemporary amenities: themed menus that resurrect favorite dishes from the resort’s history, curated events that reflect different eras of the Inn, and limited-time packages and room rates to make a visit both festive and affordable. Guests can expect a range of social gatherings—from family-friendly lawn events to adult-oriented evenings like the Roaring ’20s ball—each designed to celebrate the Inn’s legacy while creating new memories.
Throughout the anniversary year, the resort plans rotating specials, culinary nods to its past and unique guest extras tied to the 100th birthday. These offerings are intended to appeal to long-time patrons who remember past visits, as well as first-time guests looking to experience Cape Cod tradition with contemporary service standards.
For visitors planning a stay, the two-night centennial package provides a convenient way to enjoy signature elements of the celebration: welcome cocktails that toast the centennial, dining credit to sample the resort’s restored and updated recipes, and spa credit for relaxation. The centennial room rate on select dates offers an opportunity for travelers to experience the property at a commemorative price.
As the year unfolds, the resort will add events and promotions to its centennial calendar and use social channels to highlight upcoming celebrations and share photographs and stories from guests. The hotel encourages the public to use #CBI100 when posting about their own centennial experiences at Chatham Bars Inn.
