New Inn Opening Along Historic Cape Cod Highway

YARMOUTH PORT, MA — A new hotel is slated to open along Cape Cod's historic Old King’s Highway this summer.

Baxer Hospitality announced it acquired The Compass Rose, a boutique inn in Yarmouth Port. And over the next five months, the family-owned management company will renovate and rebrand the inn and open Chapter House this summer.

Chapter House is Baxter Hospitality’s second inn on Cape Cod. The group also owns and operates Sesuit Harbor House, a high-end inn in East Dennis.

"At Baxter, we’re obsessed with authentic hospitality and inspiring personal connections between locals, guests and staff," said Silvia Baxter, principal at Baxter Hospitality. "Chapter House serves as an embodiment of our ethos. By thoughtfully marrying the property’s rich history with contemporary touchpoints, we’ll provide all of our visitors with a genuine taste of Cape Cod, while our boutique size and intimate gathering spaces will nurture deeper, meaningful relationships along the way."

Chapter House is right on Old King's Highway which was recently nationally recognized as national scenic byway by the U.S. Department of Transportations. A hotel spokesperson said its a shirt drive away from top destination attractions and beaches. The 21-room inn is set on a sprawling lawn, which doubles as a recreational space for outdoor games and as a scenic weddings/event venue.

Chapter House will debut with a specialty craft cocktail bar and plans to open a locally inspired restaurant pop-up concept after its inaugural season. An indoor spa pool is also slated to be part of the renovation.

Chapter House said it will also introduce a selection of experiences designed to connect with locals and the rise of regional, work-remote travelers, including “work from hotel” programs. The inn will also be available for full-property buyouts.
