Situated on top of a property called Gull Hill in Provincetown lies Land’s End Inn. It got its name from the fact that the hotel itself stands at the very end of the road, and beyond that are marshes, tidal flats and meadows. As a popular choice among celebrities and other notable guests, the inn is a destination of choice for writers, artists and businesspersons.

Many visitors are attracted to the rich history as well as the chance to escape to a paradise by the beach. It is a place for those who seek to detach themselves from the hustle and bustle of daily life but still enjoy the comforts of a modern home. Provincetown is a favorite weekend getaway from New York City and Boston.
