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.

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!
