Innkeeper Note

European Charme and luxury amenities make this Guesthouse & Spa an escape out of the ordinary. We are quietly located in the center of Provincetown. The patios at the Carpe Diem are a green oasis far away from all the excitement of Commercial Street. Our Namaste Spa, featuring Massage Services, Finnish Sauna, Provincetown’s largest Steam Room and Hotspring Hydrojet Hot Tub, offers great relaxation year-round from 10 AM to 9 PM. Jurgen's homemade German-style breakfast is famous. The daily Wine & Cheese hour is a great way to connect with fellow guests. The common rooms are a wonderful place to relax, read a good book, meet people or chat with new friends. Video & DVD library, complimentary sherry and port and a 24-hour coffee & tea station are available for your comfort as well as a guest office & WIFI for those that need to stay connected to the "real" world. Carpe Diem - a magical place on the edge of the continent!
