The year was 1925, and a new luxurious hotel opened its doors for the first time with 28 guest rooms and a formal dining room with views of Provincetown, the harbor, and Cape Cod Bay; in 1935, the Inn was purchased by "the bossman," Chester Peck. The Inn quickly became a success story and gained a reputation for its generous hospitality and was a "must-stop" for the many stage and screen personalities who visited and performed in Provincetown as well as the many summer tourists visiting the town.

During World War II, the Provincetown Inn served as a Coast Guard training ground. After the war, it expanded, adding new rooms and facilities, becoming a thriving summertime resort. Renowned artist Don Aikens painted murals depicting Provincetown's history. In 1972, it changed hands, continuing its tradition of hospitality and hosting celebrities. In 1997, the structure enclosing the pool was removed, grass was planted, and the large lawn area that you see today was created. The new outdoor pool was refurbished, and a bar and grill were added.
