2 Best Hotels in Brewster, Cape Cod

Step inside this light-filled circa-1790 inn and you'll quickly see why this has been called one of the best inns in America—every detail is spot-on, from the fresh pastries at afternoon tea to the gorgeous landscaping surrounding the garden patio, where guests enjoy multicourse breakfasts. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the nine-room inn has been home to sea captains, artists, and author Horatio Alger. 

Named for the sea captain who had the home built in 1866, this gracious inn exudes mellowed elegance with original ornate plaster ceiling medallions and marble fireplaces, along with a fun modern touch—a heated saltwater pool, open year-round. Guest rooms are adorned with antiques and offer luxurious amenities like Turkish towels and artisan bath products. Most rooms have fireplaces; three rooms upstairs have their own private sunrooms, perched above the trees and the pretty back lawn.
