The Carroll Villa Hotel - Historic Cape May boutique hotel with award-winning restaurant and nightly live music

Located half a block from the beach in Cape May's historic district, this 3-star Cape May hotel occupies a National Register-listed building dating to 1882. The property features 19 individually decorated rooms with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and free WiFi. The Mad Batter Restaurant, repeatedly recognized as one of New Jersey's top dining venues, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a sky-lit dining room and garden terrace. The Blue Batter Bar hosts live music every night - the only venue in Cape May offering daily performances. The Carroll Villa maintains period furnishings while incorporating modern amenities, with rooms ranging from queen to two-room king suites. Beach amenities include complimentary towels, chairs, and umbrellas from Memorial Day through summer. Corporate groups can utilize meeting spaces for up to 60 attendees. Jackson Street positions guests within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants.

Pros

Only venue in Cape May featuring nightly live music

Award-winning restaurant with skylit dining and outdoor seating

Cons

“This historic hotel, steps from the beach, distinguishes itself with in-house dining at The Mad Batter restaurant. Live music at The Blue Batter Bar cultivates a vibrant atmosphere, and complimentary beach service enhances the experience. In my opinion, the hotel provides a personalized service that is a blend of boutique and B&B experience.”
