Each of the one and two bedroom suites offers a breezy, seashore vibe that you’ll love. Fun, sophisticated accents and a sunny palate provide the perfect environment to wake up to in the morning or to enjoy a post-beach snooze. With beautiful views of the ocean from almost every one of the 51 suites, you’ll be able to enjoy the beach just as well from your private balcony or living room as when you have your toes in the sand.
As America's first seaside resort community with a history of welcoming visitors for over 200 years, the safety and welfare of our guests, employees, and the Cape May community is and always has been our priority.

For those of you who have bookings or events scheduled with us during our closure, we will be in touch with you. We know that this iconic American destination will recover and be more resilient than ever as a resort community. Our dedicated team will be ready once again to welcome guests from near and far.
