A deep longing has always drawn poets, writers, artists, and people to Provincetown.that special place at the edge of the continent.
Because of that history we have dedicated the Carpe Diem Guesthouse to the "Dead Poets" inspired by the spirit of magical places like our little sandbar.
In the same tradition, we bring our guests a bit closer to the soul of Provincetown where one can enjoy a unique adventure making life extraordinary.
Rainer and Jürgen moved from Cologne, Germany to Provincetown in November 1997 to open the Carpe Diem. Rainer left behind a career in the clothing fashion industry while Jürgen, a freelance journalist for prominent magazines in Germany, is still writing articles. Hans joined the two in May 2002. He graduated from Hotel Manangement and Marketing Schools in France, his home country. He has worked in 5-Star Hotels in England, Cyprus and Luxembourg and is happy to have found his new home on Cape Cod.
