THE CHALFONTE HOTEL CAPE MAY, Cape May
Hotel Details
The Chalfonte Hotel - Historic 1876 seaside hotel with Southern hospitality and acclaimed Magnolia Room dining
Established in 1876, The Chalfonte Hotel stands as the oldest original Cape May hotel, featuring 65 guest rooms with distinctive configurations. The nationally acclaimed Magnolia Room Restaurant serves Southern-style fare prepared by the third generation of Dickerson women, whose recipes have delighted patrons for over 75 years. Guest rooms maintain a simplistic atmosphere, deliberately free of modern electronics like televisions and telephones, though Wi-Fi is available throughout. The King Edward Bar provides an intimate setting where locals and visitors gather for domestic beers, wines, and classic cocktails. For events, the ballroom accommodates up to 150 guests indoors and 200 when utilizing the adjacent porch. Two cottages supplement the main building: the Satterfield Cottage with four bedrooms and the Old Laundry Cottage, renovated in 2018, accommodating seven guests. Located just a 1-minute drive from Washington Street Mall and 6 minutes from Sunset Beach, the Chalfonte offers direct access to local attractions. Atlantic City International Airport is situated 46.5 miles from the property.
