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 May(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.

Reviews for Congress Hall
Always a great stay at the Virginia
Our stay at the Virginia (which is part of the Cape Resorts properties) was once again perfect. The Virginia is a tranquil property located in the heart of Cape May and is in close proximity to shops and restaurants and a short walk to the beach, making it a perfect location. From making our reservations on-line to help with dining reservations, the staff is always there to make sure you are having the best experience. Because this is a Cape Resorts properties property, you have access to all of the other properties and their amenities. (Virginia does not have a pool but you can use the one at Congress Hall). One thing to note is that this hotel doesn’t have an elevator so that might be of importance if you have mobility issues, but it’s only 3 floors and the stairs are broken down to several short runs with landings in between.

Lunch
Only reason I gave a 4 is the birds outside bothering some folks. My husband & I both really enjoyed the Superfood bowl with grilled chicken. I also liked the 4 Presidents IPA draft. It was a nice day on the patio & the background music was good & not loud (ie: Fleetwood Mac etc.). Service was good.

Great spot, great vibe!
The Beach Shack is the perfect spot to enjoy the gorgeous ocean front, a cool vibe in the beach bar area with spacious, clean rooms with a great surf motif! Nice little kitchenette and separate seating area was really nice & teh upscale vice of the motel was lovely. Live music daily with excellent artists was above & beyond!
