Staying in Provincetown

Provincetown sits at the tip of Cape Cod, known for its history as the Pilgrims' first landing site, a lively arts scene, a welcoming LGBTQ+ community, beaches and whale-watching. Visitors spend their days along Commercial Street, the main street running through town where many hotels, restaurants and businesses are found, and around Provincetown Harbor, the waterfront with views of the harbor and access to boat tours and ferries. The East End is a quieter residential area of historic homes, inns and galleries, still within walking distance of the center, while the West End mixes inns, restaurants and shops along Commercial Street near the center and the harbor.

The hotels on this shortlist are spread along that same strip and just off it: addresses on Commercial Street, Bradford Street, Winthrop St, Court St, Johnson Street, Cook Street and Provincelands Road. Distances to the centre run from 0.1 km to 3.4 km, so a short break with everything on foot is easy, and couples, families and business travellers all have options: rooms with kitchens or kitchenettes, family rooms, pools and spas, and free car parking at several addresses.
