Congress Hall
200 Congress Place, Cape May, NJ 08204, United States of America – Excellent location – show map
The property is so beautiful and it's clearly very well maintained. Staff clearly care about this historic place. Staff was very friendly. Special shout out to parking valets and Blue Pig server, and cafe staff who we interacted with and were so kind. Blue Pig food was delicious, all of us loved our meals and thus returned again for breakfast the next day. It was chilly during our stay we just loved that a staff member kept the fireplace going with wood which was a special touch for our leisurely breakfast. Our room in south wing was more spacious than we expected and we loved the decor. We did not have a view in our room but loved sitting for a bit in the alcove between the 2nd and 3rd floor on the nice sofas with the gorgeous view of the gardens and ocean beyond.
United States of America
History buffs welcome: Congress Hall has overlooked the Atlantic Ocean, in the town of Cape May, New Jersey, for over 200 years. Once known as "The Summer White House," Congress Hall has been a welcome retreat to many throughout the centuries. Known as America's first seaside resort, the historical 19th century hotel offers 106 guestrooms, including newly renovated Junior Suites, each one individually named for the U.S. presidents or dignitaries who spent their summers there. Each Junior Suite is filled with pieces modeled after American heritage furniture with antiqued brass hardware, plush bedding and hand-dyed linen. Located in the center of New Jersey's Victorian District, there is never a dull moment with loads of activities within arm’s reach. Guests can relax in private cabana tents on the beach, or enjoy a relaxing and serene day at Sea Spa. Or, it’s a quick 5-minute stroll to West End Garage, a hall stocked with 50 little independent shops that make Cape May’s retail scene so unique.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
