Congress Hall Hotel
Don't miss the Congress Hall History Tour for an engaging exploration of America’s oldest seaside hotel, where you'll uncover fascinating stories, including its role as the first Summer White House for a sitting president, guided by the spirit of Annie Knight, who owned the hotel from 1904 to 1931.
Rooms and suites are bright and fresh, filled with whimsical touches that evoke Cape May’s breezy summer days. Each space features American heritage-style furniture, plush bedding, and hand-dyed linens.
