Southern Mansion - A Victorian estate with award-winning gardens, gourmet dining, and historic architecture

Located in Cape May's historic district, this 1860s Italianate villa rests on 1.5 acres of award-winning landscapes. Featuring 24 luxury rooms with private bathrooms, hand-painted tile showers, and antique furnishings, the Southern Mansion showcases 15-foot ceilings, mahogany woodwork, and carved crown moldings throughout. The Cape May hotel offers 5000 square feet of verandahs, two grand ballrooms, and a full gourmet breakfast service. A commercial kitchen provides catering for events, while the 9500-square-foot Willow Creek Winery sits nearby for wine tastings. The property maintains an adult-focused environment, welcoming guests 12 and older. Positioned just a 5-minute walk from beaches, shops, and restaurants, Southern Mansion stands two blocks from Washington Street Mall.
