Directions

The nearest major airports are Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts (BOS) and T.F. Green Airport near Providence, Rhode Island (PVD). Both airports are 90-100 miles away (~2 hours) from Chatham Bars Inn. A small regional airport (Barnstable Municipal Airport) is located in Hyannis, about 20 miles away (~30 minutes).

If you plan to rent a car, the hotel has indicated that the traffic and route are simpler if you fly into Providence rather than Boston. The hotel website has driving directions to the hotel.  You may also want to consult mapquest.com or maps.yahoo.com.

Bus service is available from both Logan (P&B Bus) and T.F. Green (Bonanza Bus Lines) to the town of Hyannis (the Hyannis transportation depot). From Hyannis, taxis are available. (You can also take the Cape Cod Transit H2O Line to the Chatham Rotary bus stop, but the hotel is another half-mile further (follow Seaview St. and turn right at Shore Rd).)


Activities

A number of recreational activities are available. Please refer to the Chatham Bars Inn website for details of activites.
