While You're Here

A stay at the Star is designed around the little quirks and simple pleasures that make a trip to Cape May so exciting. Here, you'll find a haven of thoughtful design that pays homage to Cape May's Victoriana in fun, playful ways. And the location is as good as it gets: you'll be right in the middle of the Historic District, steps away from all the great restaurants, boutiques and landmarks our town by the sea has to offer. Plus, as if a stay at the Star isn't enjoyable enough in its own right, you'll also have access to all amenities of Congress Hall across the street—including complimentary beach service and access to the grand hotel's two heated pools.
