Congress Hall in Cape May

Congress Hall in Cape May: Timeless Hotel for a Classic Atlantic Resort

Way before it became a reality show, the Jersey Shore was an elegant seaside resort for the East Coast, rivaling Saratoga and Newport. It still is. Meet Cape May, a Victorian jewel box town perched on the Garden State's southernmost tip. "Cape May surprised me with its genteel, vintage look and welcoming feel," says Guest Author Christine Lim, recently on assignment for Lux Travel in Cape May.
"It was refreshing to be in a place so sure of its identity, that doesn't feel compelled to be trendy, snobbish, or Jersey Shore-ish," she says. "Cape May's confidence makes guests feel they came to the right place. And come back they do, every year."
Christine profiled Cape May's historic and ever-captivating resort, Congress Hall. "It's old-school in the best way," she says."Congress Hall's rooms and restaurants have atmosphere you don't get from a decorator. And there's there's so much to do and see, you might not even get to the beach."
