2 Best Hotels in Hyannis, Cape Cod

Most rooms at this small motel on the north end of Hyannis Harbor have harbor views and small balconies overlooking the water; its simple street-side appearance belies its spacious and immaculate accommodations, extensive grounds, and nice touches like afternoon treats and complimentary use of bicycles. An outdoor pool and firepits overlooking the harbor make this a pleasant base for exploring the Cape, and the Lewis Bay location can't be beat. In season, they offer a buffet breakfast (fee); off-season, they provide a complimentary continental breakfast.

Outside, this 1895 sea captain's home looks like many other historic houses on the Cape; inside is a surprisingly upscale boutique B&B appointed with reclaimed barn wood, leather furnishings, and two gallery rooms filled with fine art photography. Innkeepers Adrian and Xenia D'Ambrosi have created an adults-only haven featuring beautiful plants (Xenia is a garden designer) and excellent four-course breakfasts (Adrian is a chef who has worked for Jean-Georges Vongerichten.)
