About the Hotel
A haven of warm hospitality since 1816, Congress Hall offers a sublime blend of tradition and elegance. This lovingly restored and expanded monument resides just steps from the Atlantic Ocean, in the heart of Cape Mayâ€(TM)s historic district on the New Jersey shore. In an atmosphere of serenity, you can linger on a sun-drenched verandah, stroll among hydrangeas, or enjoy a treat from the old-fashioned candy shop. Savor a massage at the Cape May Day Spa, and gather with friends over American fare at the Blue Pig Tavern.

Most Magical Place To Stay!
My family had thee most magical stay at Beach Plum Resort. We booked the Hill Barn cottage and my goodness it far exceeded any expectations we had. Beautiful, warm, cozy and stocked with breakfast items to make our lives easy in the AM with two little ones and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree to bring the holiday cheer early. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cape May for the first time or 10th time, it is not a place you want to miss! The staff is beyond kind, accommodating, caring, proactive, and responsive. At check in we were greeted by Gauge who was so sweet, showed us the ropes and lent himself to us to make our stay as seamless as possible. We had the best nights of sleep in a while, which for toddler and infant parents you know that means a lot. The staff even helped us bring the holiday dinner series home to our room since we couldn’t attend with a 4 yr old and 5 month old and when I tell you they went over the top, they went over the TOP! We were greeted by wonderful staff who set the table for an enchanted date night and the food was so so delicious. We were given complimentary tickets for Congress Hall Winter Wonderland which was so much fun for us and the kiddos, and we got to drive there using a golf cart the resort provided us with. I’m telling you, Beach Plum Resort doesn’t miss a beat, it is a must visit destination and we will be telling everyone about it!

Excellent day trip destination
We visited for the day. Took the history tour very informative and interesting. The history of the property is surprising. After the tour we walked around taking in the beautiful landscape and beach. After we enjoyed cocktails in The Brown room a probation style bar.

Great old time hotel with all the modern touches
What a great old hotel with all the top amenities. Remodeled to feel new but still has the old time charm. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Nice bathrooms and the bedding is tops. The only complaint we had was our room was next to an electrical closet and we kept hearing a motor or heater unit turning on and off throughout the night. The Blue Pig Tavern was top notch for dinner. Very nice bar but on the small side and we weren't able to get a seat on the 2 nights we tried.

First class, 5-star beach getaway!
Wonderful, cozy and historic hotel right on the beach in Cape May, NJ. Excellent service all the way around, beautiful views from ocean-view rooms and wonderful dining options at Brown Room, The Blue Pig Tavern (our fav for breakfast!). Overall, we highly recommend this gem of a beach resort getaway, and we will be back!
