The Virginia Hotel

The Southern suite is the bottom floor of Red Cottage spacious well furnished luxury linens large kitchen just a great space for a group to gather, also its own porch space. The valets are excellent and unloaded a group of women with tons of luggage graciously and expertly. The service overall is superb the front desk and Hanna do a great job. The Virginia room bar with fireplaces lit and music at night is across the street, best social spot place in Cape May with great food and service by Leo. Prime spot in Cape May with down from the beach and mall.

Our 15th Year In A Row!!! Front Desk Staff ( Paolo A Super Star) On Their A Game! Breakfast Service -extremely short staffed - 40 minutes in and no coffee or utensils-( and this after filling a card out every night for time and order) Beds super comfortable, European linens, Avoid Room 302 if noise and food smells bother you as this is directly above the garden dining area! Cocktail hour service is perfect and ERoom dining always a treat! Beach area with Cabana, towel, and chair service is truly a treat! Have their signature Watermelon Mint and Coconut Cocktail- it is amazing!

This was our 4th stay at The Virginia and it never disappoints. The charming porch is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach. Location can’t be beat with endless shops and restaurants within walking distance. Rooms and beds are modest in size but comfortable. The Ebbitt restaurant and bar is one of the best in town. We love Cape May and The Virginia!

Ok my husband & I have been coming to Cape May for 23 years and have never splurged on the Virginia Hotel before but I think they have spoiled us absolutely rotten. The vibe is accessible generational wealth with luxury and personalized attention at EVERY turn! If you have a special occasion to celebrate like surviving another day in 2025, this is the #1 place in Cape May, hands down. From the front desk at check in to the waiter Jay at breakfast, just top notch friendly service with a smile and the nicest people I have ever dealt with since Vince & Leslie retired from the Mooring. You will NEVER want to leave. Now the dinner was incredible and I think there’s a Michelin star chef (if not he really should be). I had steak that was cooked to perfection and served in a demi glace sauce like duck. The preparation & presentation was amazing. My husband had the chicken and is still raving about it. The star was also the dessert. It was a chocolate tart with berry sauce and it was like eating Godiva truffles in cake form with an amazing crust of perfectly ground nuts. The decor is absolutely exquisite. Again the decor makes the Virginia one of the most gorgeous hotels I have ever seen but it also is accessible and homey and not over the top. You feel like you’re staying in a rambling Rockefeller summer cottage with surprises and views at every turn. I literally don’t have anything to put on the con list. Normally I like to do a pro and con list but it’s impossible because there is none!! Run to your laptop or phone & book this place NOW!!!

The location is central. We stayed in their basic room, and it was great. They excelled in having an old school staff that was more proffessional than most places. Breakfast was complimentary and outstanding. The beach passes (which seems like a crazy NJ concept) are included and there were umbrellas and robes in the closet when we arrived. We also had very good martinis in the evening on the front porch which were covered by a hotel credit which came with room. This was an outstanding overnight experience.
